update/question for tires
I took my uncles tires today that he gave me to see if they fit. They are 33x12.5 Mudd Brutes. I put them on the front and they fit EASY w/ plenty of room. I could easily fit 35's on there w/ no rub at all. The back..different story. I was undable to get the stupid things on! The hub in the back seems to be bigger than that in the front? Is that normal or has something been switched on me!? Both axles are 8 lub. Back axle has 8 bolts in the end and the front has 6 adn it has lock-outs. Normal/not normal? Thanks!

You could have a chevy or dodge wheel. All 8 lug wheels have the same bolt pattern, but have different center openings.

well then...how would I order them? B/c I don't want to screw that up. I'm guessing I can order the front ones the same as they are now. But what size would you call the back ones? Would it be safe to just trim the inside of the rim to put it on there to see if the size of tire would fit? Not for permanent. Just to see the clearance? These are scrap tires! Thanks!
