Tire question

Looking to possibly run these classic bias ply tires on my F1004x4. Not sure how wide of a rim
i need tho. Anyone run these Gateway/Maxxis Buckshot Mudders?

I am fairly certain you can run those on standard wheels.

yeah, I was thinking the same
thing, but not planning on it being a daily. Any idea what size I can run? Truck has no lift, just stock 4x4. I was thinking 33’s should be good?

For the tire size it depends.
1) What is your plan for the truck? (Off roading, cruising, just some yard work)
2) What engine & trans do you have, if its a 6cly with 3 speed stay with that tire size.

1) cruising, some off-road, nothing super serious.
2) came with a 360, it MIGHT have a 428 (see previous posts) and factory 4spd manual.

From some Facebook feedback, I’m steering away from this tire and considering some others.
All options are 33x10.5x15, with Wheel Vintiques 15x8 steel wheels.
