I've run 40x15.50's on my JK before and while they "look" cool, 13.50's are more practical. If you run a tire that big, I would highly recommend running 20" wheels. Also, unless you've got a Rubicon, you're gonna need to run no more that 3.5" of back spacing. Even at that, you may get some rubbing at a full turn. Of course, this is to say nothing about the rubbing you'll get at a full flex or the fact that your axles won't last too long with them if you actually wheel your Jeep.

LOL!! Like I said, he did look way cool - still my favorite "look" in fact. Just not real practical.

The mud grapplers looked the best. Still my favorite looking tire of only I could hear myself think.

What was that? :idontknow: :crazyeyes: :cheesy:
I'm with ya, looks awesome and even performed well off road but kinda of hard to deal with on long drives. :icon_crazy:

I have always loved the Super Swamper tsl-sx look the best. I guess grapplers would be third on my list for looks behind the Pitbull Rockers. Moby looks badass in that pic.

Old school cool for sure.
