What size and what kind of tires do you guys use? I was thinking 33's will those work or would they be to big? Thanks, Cliff.

i'm running 15" with snow tires but for the summer I switch to Michellin XCLs which are about 33"1973 Series III 88. "PHYDXO"Comment

33's should clear fine with a set of parabolics, (maybe a good set of stock springs too, not totally sure though.) If you have a 16" rim look for something in the 255/85/r16 range..which translates into 33x10. Im eyeballing a set to purchase this summer. Let us know how it works out!

I'm running 255/85R16 BFG Mudterrains (I like the fact they say Made in USA). BFG specs them as 33.3" dia. Min rim width is 6.5" so you're looking at either wolf (6.5") or Disco I steel wheels (7") to keep in manufacturer's spec.
I was slowly setting my truck up to clear 35" tyres when I discovered that 33's were the tallest I could go and still get easily into my truck in an A line skirt. So it looks like 33's are my max size since I think side steps are first things ripped off on any interesting trail. And no I don't wear A lines on the trail. But I do around home and the TR3 prefers to stay inside when it is rainy out.

I think bare aluminum would look kinda cool...sorta like the anti-Deloren...back to the future!
BTW I have 235x85x16 mud terrains which measure up to about 32", looks right to me.
I don't have to worry about an A-line skirt (whatever that is) but if it gets much higher I may split my britches getting in.04 Disco, Gone-Disco died & so did mine

Or the other 6.5" LR rims, ANR1534 would be easiest to get today- from Vass or off a NAS 110 that went to Wolf rims.

As far as black rims go, I like them. MY Discovery I steel wheels are semi gloss black. They go well with my truck's colour of British Racing Green.-

ANR 1534 is the later metric version, sized as 6.5L x 16 x 20.6, and equates to the earlier 569204, which is sized as having a 13/16" offset.
13/16" = 20.6mm

Oh well, I glad someone went to class those days and paid attention to the lecture.-
