RE: Re: RE: Do I need to regear for 33
I have four (4) 33" Courser OTB (Swamper LTB knock-offs) and I'm going to an 8-bolt pattern rim, what size rim should i get? My current tires are 33x12.50.... any other info needed? It's resting @ my step-dad's right now, so incoming info is slow.

15x8" is what I would go with. I wouldn't go any wider than 8"

RE: Oh, happy day!!!
Agree. You could go 10", but you'll keep your bead on better with an 8" rim. This is arguable from both sides however. If your vehicle is more than 50% on road, a 10" rim will give you better performance. It's all about preferences.

RE: 33" tires and need a matching rim
The tires are on 10x15 rims right now but I hear good things about the 8" wide rims. I just need some with an 8 bolt pattern to fit my current tires.

Courser is under the MasterCraft name. They are relabeled Coopers (as many many off brand tires are).

RE: college
If that's supposed to be an LTB knockoff......they didn't do a very good job. It's probably a good tire, but don't expect Swamper type performance.

Re: RE: jeep story
From your previous posts, I gathered that you want your vehicle to grow significantly in size. One ton (8 lug) axles will be great for upgrading to larger tires in the future. With this in mind I would say that if you want some temporary wheels then just snag some cheapos from the junkyard and paint them black. If you want a set that will be good for future growth, then get 15 x10's.
Take special note that grinding of the front brake caliper may be required for clearance of the 15" rim. Don't be afraid of grinding the calipers to make the wheel fit. I have done this to mine and ride with many others who have done the same. It works. If you want to avoid grinding then go with a 16" rim and tire.
