PLEASE help me out here! I'm going crazy trying to figure what wheels to go with on my 4WD 87 Square. I'd appreciate it if you'd post up any pics with specs of what you have or what you've come across on the internet. Doesn't matter what style or color but the more info on the pic that you could provide the better! (Diameter, width, tire size, offset, lift etc....) Bonus points if the truck is Grey ;)


I'm open to seeing anything but right now my plans are 17x9 with a 37x12.50 (or 13.50) tire under a 6" lift. Thanks in advance!

Nice! How do ya like those Coopers? Does the 13.5's drive? Those are one of the two tires that I've narrowed it down to.

Wear phenomenally well, and slow. They grip and conform decent on rocks, and self clean well in the mud. Really reasonably priced. Not real loud on the road.

My own perception, but I would swear the 13.5s were much more stable in the rocks, and much easier to bring back under control.

Only tires that I have owned that I like more are the Maxxis Trepador.
