Tire size

I have a 2.5 in lift on a 74 bronco with cut fenders. can I run 33x12.50 or even 35x12.50's on 10 in rims without rubbing?????

Will P buckshots fit on 15X10 in rims????

Depends how much you cut. I believe the streched out gorrila warflares leave a big enough opening for 33's, need more lift for 35's. I ran 33's on mine for a long time with 3 1/2" lift and only cut in the rear.

You can fit 33x12.50's on a standard offset 10" wheel with a 2.5" lift and cut fenders no problem. If your suspension is flexible, you might rub a bit in the front without flares though. If your wheels don't have much offset, you may rub a bit in the front.

I think the P78 Buckshots come out to approx 34x9.5 or 10. They can be mounted, but I think they are too narrow to use on a 10" wheel.

RCrawler you are right. The P78 Buckshots are very close to a 35. I ran a set on the front of my mud truck. I would not run them on anything wider than a 8" rim max.

A 35X12.50 r15 will fit on a 8" or 10" wide rim. It will "balloon" out a little more, and appear a bit wider on the 10" rim, than the 8" rim.

I run 35's on my 74 bronco with no lift, and cut fenders. I have no problems. I think you would be fine, but that is just my opinion, and we all know what opinions are like. If you are planing on running the P buckshot's you talked about earlier on this rig, I'd go with an 8" rim for them, but thats just my .02

Any pictures of 35's on a non lifted Bronco with cut fenders? Bet you don't flex much... I rubbed the inner fenders running 31's when I was really crossed up. I couldn't imagine that much more tire fitting. Are the fenders cut out to the body line?

Sorry, I don't have any pic's of it. I currently have 34's on it now, and I'll take a pic tonight. I am sure there is no lift in this bronco, but there is a very good chance that it has a heavier front spring. I'll post a picture or two tonight.

On the main page of Tom's Bronco Parts site, there is a burgundy one with a 2.5" lift and 33's. Should be able to find plenty of them searching on the net.
