its just a test fit thats why its only 1 tire but finally 29x10.50 do fit. sorry about the pics i dont know how to upload.

how much lift do you have?
those tires make it look really high

How much lift did you put on that thing? Looks like you should get atleast 30" tires or 31's to fill it in better, but you would of course probably have to trim the fenders a bit. Just my thoughts. Also what size rims are those?

trust me its not that high, i actually want it higher.

honestly i would just put 31s on the stock rims with that lift, i think that would look real nice.

all together i got a fabtech 3.5 spindles with add a leaf for the rear and a 2" body lift. and trust me if the 30s fit i would have been super stoked, but not only would i have to trim the front plastic but i would also have to cut the rear to clear the tire and i aint so happy on cutting metal off my truck.

honestly i like the look of deeper rims.

im glad you were finally able to find some that fit. but, as others have stated, i think it would look a lot better with 31's or 32's.

but its your truck and you like the deeper wheels so thats all that really matters

thanks man. i really do want bigger tires im gonna lift it another 2" and see from there. right now 29s are gonna have to do.

where are you gonna get another 2" from? i thought you had pretty much done everything

im hopin i can use a 2" lift coils and shackles. what do you think?

that should work... i was thinking that you had already done shackles and coils

with a 7.5" lift, you could fit some pretty massive tires.

i really hope so. do you know if im gonna have to change my shocks if i added another 2"

i would think so, i think if you used the same shocks, you wouldnt have an equal amount of suspension flex up and down. there would be plenty of room for your truck to move downwards but not very much upwards. instead of "bottoming out" you would have a higher risk of "topping out"

im not real sure about that so you might want to look into it a little further. i would go to an offroad shop (assuming there are some around) and ask them

You would need new shocks, especially if you didnt change from stock shocks. 2" more would only probably allow you to get 31" tires with no trimming. Your best bet is probably to do some trimming, because with 7.5" of lift you are going to want something bigger than a 31" tire in there atleast 33". But it is your truck, you can do what you want, but just from going to 33" tires from the 29" tires you have now would give you another 2" of ground clearance since the overall diameter is 4" larger. Just some things to think about.

if you go 2" more, you may be able to fit 33/12.5 on there which, like lenny said, would give you another 2" lift. if you are ok with trimming, you could fit more than 33's... rcars2 has 33's with only a 4" lift

why would you put 29x10.50 tires on? why not somethin atleast bigger. and if not i would go with a narrower tire. wider is not always better. in mud and snow a narrower tire will do better. id get some 31x10.50 atleast for that it looks goofy with such small tires. how didnt 30's fit? with all that lift they should fit easily with very minimal trimming i would think. i have a 4x4 and only a 2" torsion bar crank in the front and im putting 31x10.50s on it

......HUH? Where do you get that rational? If you have a narrower tire you have more weight on a smaller area and thus you will sink faster. Additionally you have less surface to grip with so traction for accellerating and stopping is significantly less. Im not sure where you learned that from but speaking from experience, wider tires take the elements a lot better.

first of all the tires that i want to run are super swamper tsl sx's and the reason why they dont fit is because for that particular prand of tires the 30s only come in 11.50 and by running my 15x10" rims they stick out so much that it hits the plastic bumper in the front and the rear fender by the doors, if you think that you could fit those tires try putting a 11.50 tire on a 15x10 rim and mount that on your truck. my truck is only a 4x2 so looks is pretty much all i got so this is the look that i want i dont want narrower tires i like the beefier look. and by the way im in hawaii so yes no snow and like i said im 2x4 so why would i even chance the mud.ORIGINAL: kankoon52

I wouldn't pull the hero card just yet...

RCars2, you do not have more weight on a smaller area. You have the same weight on a smaller area which, depending on the conditions and the limits of traction you are already at, wider can cause problems as well. It all depends on whether you are on-road or off-road.

While you may not see snow, others that read through this thread may. And they may be misled by statements such as "wider tires take the elements a lot better"... Since no "elements" were specified, that statement is false.

first of all i never posted anything about the "elements" this whole post was to show that the 29s fit my truck. it was just a post to show everyone that was trying to help me with my problems of tire clearance the last couple of weeks to see that i got my tire clearance solved. second of all you dont come to a thread and flame somebody about their truck looking goofy, i think you should keep that comments to yourself. third you should read previous posts to know the whole story on why i had tire clearance problems with my 15x10" rims. im not trying to start problems i think this forums rocks but if youre gonna flame on someone hit up another forum.ORIGINAL: swartlkk

My reply was sort of disjointed, I wasn't referring to you, cyukio, when I made the statement about RCars2's misleading comments at the end of my post.

And let me just say, this is an open forum. When you post something, you open yourself up to the opinions of those reading/posting in your thread. You started this thread with pictures only, no text for questions, details, nothing... As such, you opened yourself up to each individuals interpretation of your goals for this thread. Were you asking for opinions? From any post up to the one where someone asks why you would want to do such a thing (didn't seem to be a flame to me), there was no mention of your intentions for this thread.

Also, as an asside, you do not need to quote every time you respond. You may want to try to clip out some of the quote of the quote of the quote items and just keep the parts that you are responding to.

how did i open this post with pictures only? in my second post it explains why the pictures were up there. and the only reason why i had to post it after the pictures is because i dont know how to post pictures up too well im not very computer literate, hence i dont know how to clip edits.

when i said narrower tires get better traction i was meaning in some cases. ever notice what the military rigs run? usually narrow tall tires. because if you think back to highschool, a smallerfoot print creates more pounds per square inch which means more weight for traction. now if your mud bogging in a bottomless pit or in sandthen wider tires are going to be better because the wider tire gives you more flotation because it spreads the weight out over a larger foot print. but if your on some slick clay or a muddy hill side those narrower tires are gonna grip way better than some real wide tires. and when you say a narrower tire sinks faster that is the point so it sinks down to the hard ground and gets traction. like i said unless your mud bogging in some really deep mud a narrower tire is gonna do you more good in most cases.
