Are those 235/75/15s?? What are peoples thoughts on tire sizes and what looks good on stock suspension. I know the tires I have on right now are too small. Can't remember the size but I do have a picture.

Yup, mine are 235/75/15's, They're brand new. I was trying to find a bit taller of a tire, but had no luck (unless I wanted to go to a wider tire). I don't have any photos of it straight on from the side. But if that would help I could do some shuffling around in the shop and take some better pics. (it's currently on the top bunk in the shop with my CJ parked underneath )

Haha, yes that would help, thanks. I want a decent sized tire to change the stance from "mail truck" to Land Rover. Everyone says 235/85/15 but they are hard to come by and with stock suspsension I dont see them fitting correctly. Lalo, are those parabolics on the truck you sold, what size tires are those?

fixed it. 235/85/16's work great with stock suspension and I ran this set up before my frame swap. They are very close to the 7.50x16 size originally used by the factory with the stock suspension. You will need to find a set of 16 inch rims though if you are still running 15's.

Here are some side shots so you can get an idea what 235/75 15's look like in the wheel opening. I think 85 series would be better (but I had no luck finding those in 15" size) I decided to keep the 15's because that's what mine came with. The last pic shows it in the "top bunk"

Some people say use 33X9.5R15, as close as you can get to the 235/85/16s. I saw a pic and they were with parabolics and looked pretty snug. figuring 235/85/16s are about 32" tires and the 33s are close to 33", anyone know what a 30-32 inch tire would be for a 15" wheel? I like the narrow size of the 235/85/16s so sticking with narrow but not pencil thin.

'47 CJ2A (after driving that, my SIII feels like an F1 car)

[morgant]

Is that a Red Siberian I spy there? My SIII might not be taking me anywhere anytime soon, but my Cinnamon girl goes everywhere with me.

No, she's a mutt, part Shiba Inu, part German Shepard Dog. I don't her mix 100% but those two breeds are definitely present. She doesn't much care for the back of the rover, too rough a ride and no windows that open...yet

That's definitely a mix that'd get you closest to a red Siberian.

Yeah, mine doesn't either. She put up with it for the week that my SIII was running well and we were commuting it it, but she was relieved when the clutch would no longer disengage.

Mostly Together

Since this pic was taken I got a hood mount, and a rover hardware hawse fairlead with synthetic winch line. But that's as far as I have gotten. The toe-in was about 3-4"s of in this picture as well! I just needed to drive it around a little.
