M4wdFab:
what are you trying to rub ix Goldberg here again?

rejeep:
CJ6 stuff...

got talked off the cliff by a buddy..

I wanted to run a flotation tire i.e. 33x10.5x15
stock 60-70 rim was a 15x7.. wanted to pick up more back space due to narrow track axle.. ~2.5-3" some of the early CJ5 people run...

but going more simple...

sticking with a ~33 tire..  need wheels with backspace for NT axles..
3.5 will be sufficient
8" rim came stock in the mid 70's
no turning radius issues..

Size    Diameter   Width   Tread Depth   Tread Width   Rim Range   Load Range   Max Load   Max psi   Weight   Revs/Mile
LT285/75R17   33.9"   11.3"   20/32"   8.7"   7.5-9.5"   E   3195 lbs.   80 psi   62 lbs.   614

17x8 alloy wheel with 3.5" BS should be a nice combo...


Had a lot of phone conferences yesterday and this AM…
Had some thinking time…

rejeep:
maybe i should paint the jeep all different colored squares and have a hamster wheel under the hood

M4wdFab:
paul runs a 2.5" backspace wheel readily available from summit

rejeep:
only steel...  puts some stress on the bearings and spindles..
after some research.. 2.5 is a bit much.. 3.5 should be perfect..
