Wanna borrow a set and see for yourself?

I've got a spare Trailready sitting on the floor of the shop I could mount a 43 on for test fitting. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to drop from the 4.75" BS I have now to around 4" at least to clear my steering arm. It's really close to the sidewall of my Krawler now.

Nice WOD rig. What's the BS and overall width on that digger?

New Hardrock Trailready are 10" wheels with only one back spacing available, just for the larger demand for big tires. This is what I just ordered for the new rig. I decided to try the
Trep 42s after being happy with 2 sets of SXs. Hope I don't regret it.

I saw those. Pretty bad ass. Just not sure if they would clear my steering arms.

Thanks, but its a knock off I built it myself. I am not sure on the backspace or the overall width but I can measure when I get to the house.

I should have said it like this, would you like to borrow my set of 43's on Racelines and run them to see if you like them? I will be at AOP New Years with them if you want to give them a go? Let me know, G

Ahh, yea I'd love that but I need to get one in to test first to make sure everything will clear before I go bouncing through the woods. I think it will be close in a few areas.

are you totally against the option/possibility of needing to run a small spacer?

I wouldn't do it personally.

I'd rather just get different wheels. I can easily sell my Krawlers and TRs as a combo for decent cash.

What's the going rate for 43 stickies?

nealcj8 · Dec 12, 2016

About a week ago offroad connection had them for $680 a piece. I gave $720 for mine. I love them.

June dog · Dec 12, 2016

I'm not 100% positive but I think goforth sells them for $650. When I bought mine from him they were $700 but I think they've came down some

zayne2427 · Dec 12, 2016

Called today. Goforth is $690 each for the sx sticky

8.5" TR HD, 3.5" BS, 90"

I keep 4.5 in the rear and still experimenting on the front. 7 psi will hold up front, 5 psi won't. The drivers front in this pic was my first time trying 5 psi and it was going down with working slow goin hard side loads in Lions Den at Harlan.

Looks good. What is the opinion on the wheel width with these tires. Trail Ready has the 8.5 and now a 10". Most running Racelines are 9.5". Any noticable difference?

My KMC's are 17x8.5 with a 4.75 back spacing. Looking at mine compared with a buddy with the race lines. His tires look much wider, where mine look taller and skinny. I prefer the "look" of the 8.5 wide wheel.
