I thought I read these rims are 5.5" wide? They look alot wider than that, I have split rims that I am putting on my RHD BJ42 for I am doing a resto (I know all about the hazards with them) on it. Has anyone put 33 x 10.5" on a stock OEM toyota wheel? I am wanting to go 33 x 10.5 x 16 BFG AT's for I have a 2.5" OME heavy suspension, I know I have seen 9.5"'s on them but dont know about 10.5's?
yes I am wanting something around 9.5 wide but not alot out there in an all terrain tire. The BFG A/T 235/85-16 is not really even 32" but is 9.5 wide and the 255/85-16 is 10.5 wide and a little over 33" tall. I love the look of the skinny tires.
If you look at tyre manufacturers' data (from BF Goodrich and others) you'll see that they reckon even these tyres are too wide for the skinny 5 1/2" wide splitrims we run.
But I don't have any "handling issues" with my vehicle when running my tyres so you may be lucky too.
The only issue I did have was my RH tyre fouling my draglink ("pitman-arm-end" of course) when at full-lock on rough terrain. And I cured that by having the pitman arm bent so the draglink runs closer to the steering box support.
Here is an old pic of my front left 235/85 R16 tyre:
