Love it! Big tires on stock wheels is always the way to go in my book. I just think it looks so much better than aftermarket wheels.
Thank you! I totally agree
Cheaper too 🙂
Big diam wheels are mostly jewelry, which is gay.
Stuffing tires that wide on wheels that narrow is a horrible thing to do. Most tire companies only approve rim width 70-85% of tire section width. Other than shoehorning fat tires on so they almost clear, the performance of any tire suffers badly doing that, steering response, cornering stability, tread wear are all far worse.
it looks waaay better than stock tire on insanely wide rims
Love it man, changes the look extremely. Awesome daily!
Thanks a lot! I’m very excited about it
I’m running those same wheels on my ‘74 Bronco with 33’s.
Love ‘em.🤘
Can’t beat the look!
That thing looks badass. Love little wheels 'n' big tires.
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching
love it man, small rim big tire is the way to go. im about to put 34'' on 17'' steel on my truck soon. ive always loved the old school classic look. looks hella manly
Totally agree! I had a set of big wheels once on my f250 and it just wasn’t my style. Excited to run 17s and big meats on my project truck eventually. Checkout some of my playlists videos if you get a chance to.
I just had my 94 painted last month. It's black also. It looks just like yours. I had to cut the bottom corner of my bumper to keep from rubbing. I get a lot of comments. You should also. Looks great.
That’s awesome! Oh yeah I’ve been getting questions at the gas station and thumbs up in traffic. Mine is actually kodiak brown which looks black most of the time until the sun hits it just tight
That looks sweet bro! All you need now is your level! I would put some bottom clear lenses on the headlights though! It would pull the whole truck together
Thanks man! You know that’s my style too, I’ll put some clears in at some point
The paint on this is amazing
Much appreciated! I hope to paint my 1967 6.7 project truck the same color
Man you got that bronco looking good !
Thank you! I try to clean up whatever I get my hands on if I can
Looks sweet man I like the tucked look. Idk what your plans are for it but I would straight axle swap the front axle. Get it out of an older f150. Run same coils and leveling kit etc. would look meaner and probably be more practical with getting aligned.
Thank you! Probably going to keep it simple until my project truck is done but one day I’d like to beef it up enough to jump it like a prerunner but more factory looking
Looks pretty good,I’ve got a 1994 and I’ve purchased a 2.5” lift and plan on 33’s. I’m in a spot where I have to address a leak in the top. I have a new carpet kit that I ain’t installing until that’s addressed. It’s going to look killer, white 1994 bronco sport with “NOT OJ” plates. Shit it’s probably on Facebook,wouldn’t know because Facebook is the devil! Ha! I’ve already decided I’m keeping this one for a while,so I’m going to make it right.
That’s awesome man! Love the white OJ look and that plate name is epic. I need to figure out a leak near my tailgate that gets the carpet wet
Looks nice bro
Looks great!
Much appreciated, thanks for watching!
Truck looks great
I have an 88' I will recommend that when you do your brakes, get Wagner commercial duty pads and shoes. And don't cheap out on front end parts. The factory used Spicer joints and bearings.
Good to know, thank you!
all our old 4x blazers and trucks on the far ran stock 15s with 33/13.5r15s
Got a new video today's a good day for the grappaholics boy's also those 33s look sick would be perfect for a 12 wide rim
Thanks for checking it out! I’m super happy with how it turned out, if I ever go a lot taller I’ll definitely throw on some wider wheels
@@GRAPPAHOLICS it looks great can't wait to see it with the 2 inch BDS👍
@@Back_door_bandit_98 much appreciated, I can’t wait either!
Looks pretty nice to me 2 thumbs up👍👍
Thank you!
Dats one fine looking truck man! I dig dat mean clean look!!! Props !!!👏👏👌 Joe "POCHE"Benavides from Laredo,TX
Much appreciated! I’ve been enjoying it. Check out my newer BDS suspension video I finally put my leveling kit on
Looks good and sounds good bud
Thanks boss!
@@GRAPPAHOLICS you’re welcome bud
Gorgeous look, I have an 86 Ramcharger with 35 12.50’s on 15X8’s and like you it doesn’t rub at all after a small lift. Great choice !!!!
That’s awesome! Those Ramchargers are epic off-road
Dang your gonna convert me from Chevy to Ford lol, that's a nice looking Blazer, also I didn't realize you were in Florida, I just moved from Jacksonville not long ago.
I will say the blazer felt more capable off-road but if you want to drive fast off-road the bronco rides pretty smooth with the twin traction beam front end. I like both
Looks good. I just put 33s on my stock alcoas.
Thank you, can’t beat that
I plan on running some 33x13.5r15s on my 9th gen f150 with a 4 inch lift and a solid axel swap
Nice Bronco..just seeing this video
Much appreciated!
Got to have guns he says biceps don’t change when he flexes😂😂
Def earned a sub with this one man. Gives me confidence about putting 33x12.5's on my stock 17x7 on my Ram with a level.
Looks sick man!
I really appreciate that! I’ve got some videos about wide tires on skinny f250 wheels farther back on my channel. I love the look of a lot of tire on skinny wheels. I’ve ran 40x15.50s on stock Ford 20in wheels
@@GRAPPAHOLICS Did you ever have trouble with wear on the road? I'm getting some great mileage out of my Mickey Thompson ATZ P3's (305/55-20) but am thinking i might put mud tires on my 17x7's next time.
@@LarryReynolds591 with the skinny wheels and wide tires they will bulge some and potentially ride more on the center of the tread especially if they are over inflated but mine always wore evenly
Was worried about 35x12.5s on my leveled ram on 20x9’s but def feel better about the combo, expecting to do some trimming but I’m also throwing .5in spacers on for that extra control arm clearance. For rams it’s recommended a minimum of .25 spacers when you go 12.5 because the uca will def rip into your tire
Nice setup. Any transmission issues? Give us an update on this. I'm on the fence about doing this to my bronco.
No issues so far but it’s only been about a month. I haven’t changed a thing since this video and drive it about 500 miles a week. Stay tuned for some updates!
I bought a set of used 33's mounted on the same style 15 inch rims, pretty much just for the rims but if the tires hold air, I want to put them on my 77 F100 and or my 89 F150 4x2. Both non lifted, I mostly needed something to hold air and roll the trucks for times I need to work on their resto in my yard, Ever needed Spacers to keep wide tires from rubbing on suspension parts, steering components up in there? Just asking before I waste time trying to mount these fat tires on my old beaters.
Sorry I missed your question! How did that end up working out? From my experience with fat tires on skinny stock wheels you can usually get away with no spacers and it will just rub on the frame/suspension when turning full lock. Spacers typically will cause more rubbing issues on the body and bumper due to the added width. Lots of different possible factors though with different trucks.
That black paint is Bitchin!
Thanks so much! It’s Ford Kodiak brown from newer f series trucks. I plan to paint my project 1967 the same color
Not sure if ya done it or not, but, wouldn't hurt to re gear the rear for right now. 33's with 4.10s is a good combo.
I still haven’t done it yet. Planning on re gearing at some point but I’ve turned this thing into a weekend rig and don’t drive it as much now
I'd do 4.88s personally for 33s.
@GRAPPAHOLICS cause its a pig now with those tires . Been there . Re - gear time.
Sure looks good !
Cool I like them
Thanks for watching!
What is the width of your Rim/wheel? Please reply 🙏
Makes me wish I never sold my 88 on 37x13.50r15’s
They are pretty cool rigs! I’m enjoying it
Use oneton springs on the front you can buy springs at auto zone
That’s a good option, my new BDS springs should be here any day now hopefully
How wide are the rims and tires?
Very nice.....
Much appreciated
Put some washers In the bumper brackets it will push the bumper out
I might do that! I love that trick, I made a video a while back on how I was able to barely clear 38s on a 1in level on my 2014 Powerstroke by spacing out the bumper and a couple little touches.
Quick question: can you do the same for OBS f150 RWD?? I notice alot you 4x4 guys do this, but I haven't seen RWD.
Possibly, the rwd might sit lower so it might need a little lift in the front. I ended up putting on a 2 in lift in my most recent video and they fit a lot better
So on my bronco I had the raging issue and never could figure it out, I thought it was my lift. But it was actually the pivot bushings on both sides of the ttb, the ones towards center. If you didn't plan to replace those already I would I also did radius arm bushings which made mine ride a lot better.
Also when you level it if it rubs bumper I recommend using some washers to move bumper some a little bit
Good to know, thank you! I have used the washer trick for a bumper before and it works great, I’ll keep that in mind. I hope you find another Bronco if you miss yours
@@GRAPPAHOLICS I want to find another but I think I want a 79 as my next project, but I didn’t want to come across cocky or like I know it all with that, I just know I spent a lot of time and money changing everything else before realizing it was a simple issue.
@@loganclark312 a 79 would be awesome! You’re good man. I appreciate it
Will I be able to fit these in my 95 f150 i6 I put a 2 inch leveling kit on the front will they rub? I’ve asked around and couple ppl have said they have very slight rubbing on the radius arm
I’m pretty sure they would fit the same as this. Did you end up trying it?
How wide are your stock wheels?
Ford trucks always cuts sharper to 1 side than the other. They done that since 70s
Beautiful. I wanna run 12.5 on my stock wheels, they are 7.5" wide.. will it work??
Most shops will turn you away but I’ve never seen any issues with it. Maybe a little more wear in the center of the tread
So what were the stock rims?? I’m guessing what a 15x7 or 16x7 rims. And how wide were these tires?
These factory wheels are 15in and 7.5in wide and the tires are 13.5in wide. Almost twice as wide as the wheels which is definitely not recommended, but something I have been doing for years as a personal preference. I love the look of wide tires on factory wheels. The bead is not as wide in the center of the tire as the actual tread but this dramatic difference in size does cause the tires to bulge more than normal. This causes extra wear in the center of the tread over time but hasn’t caused me any significant concern on multiple vehicles with similar setups.
That I beam suspension is the best in oem trucks till today. Them wheels n tires will always slant like that even on a front-end alignment. That's way ford designed it. Plus you will always have more wheels tire stick out on front than back. Cuz front axle is always wider than rear cuz disc and hubs on front. Always be an offset
Okay so out of curiosity just to get everything straight. You said stock wheels. So what are stock wheels with? And what is the offset. For example on my F-150 it's 7-in wide with a 14 mm offset. They definitely look good on it though bro
These wheels are very similar to that, they are 7.5in wide I believe.
Shim the bumper out with a few washers.
That’s my signature move but I threw a 2in BDS leveling kit on and it clears with ease. Checkout some of my newer videos if you are interested
What size rims?? width
how many miles on the NITTO mud graps do you run until you rotate them?
I would recommend rotating them often, like every oil change or 7-10k miles but I’ve been known to go a long time without rotating them without too many issues. A bad alignment will mess them up quick though
@@GRAPPAHOLICS do they ride good, preform good in mud, rain, snow, & on road?
@@juderutschilling1234 I love them but they have some pros and cons. I think they ride amazing considering how aggressive they are, but they are loud. They do great off road in everything I’ve tried them in and I haven’t had any issues in the rain. They do wear down faster than all terrains of course but they sell for good money used so it’s not a big deal
I have a 2001 dodge with 245/75r16 and I’m wanting to put some mud grapplers on what size should I go with?
Is it a ram 1500 and does it have any lift and stock wheels?
It’s a 2500 and it’s stock
@@hunterdespain6024 I would say 33s would be a good bet. They are a metric size LT305/70R16
@@GRAPPAHOLICS okay I appreciate it
@@hunterdespain6024 no worries
you need ball joints in the front axle replaced.thanks

I’ll be going through it all soon, hopefully soon enough

Hey how narrow are those stock wheels? I have 17x7 wondering how wide I could go.

This causes extra wear in the center of the tread over time but hasn’t caused me any significant concern on multiple vehicles with similar setups. I would recommend not going any wider than about 12.50in wide if I had to put a number on it.
@@GRAPPAHOLICS thanks for your advice, I also love the look and feel better going ahead with some wide rubber! Appreciate it
@@jessemuller9961 Glad I could help. Thanks for watching and good luck. Checkout some of my other videos if you get a chance. I have a couple of video playlists about my 6.7 Powerstroke swap project
How small do they go in a mud grap?? Wanna run like a 31 on a 20
The smallest is a 33in, but I’m curious if they will offer them in smaller sizes eventually
Would you run a 37x12.50 on a stock 17x7.5 wheel ?
Personally, yes I would even though it’s not recommended. I have ran 15.50 wide tires on factory f250 20x7.5 wheels with no issues. Feel free to look through some of my other videos if you like.
@@GRAPPAHOLICS I definitely will, I just came across your channel looking for reviews on the setup I mention , I'm building a 08 jeep Wrangler jk . Thanks for the response
@@bradleyhightower6849 Thanks for checking out the channel! Good luck on your jeep, keep me posted about it.
How wide are the factory wheels on this ?
7.5in wide. Running 13.50 wide tires is not recommended on them, but I do it all the time and love the look
Looks good, put a lift on truck now. 👍
That’s coming next!
wish i had seen this b 4 i put 31 10.50's on my 93... i wanted to go bigger but was skeert... :/
There’s always next time and you can resell the 31s
@@GRAPPAHOLICS i just put these on last week... 😒
Do your 31s rub? Thinking about putting them on my stock 94 f150
Can i do 33s on my 96 eddie bauer f150 stock rims ?and if so tell me how?#greenhorn😊
They should fit fine on the stock wheels but some tire shops don’t like mounting tires that are much wider than the wheels. 33s aren’t too crazy though so shouldn’t be an issue. Good luck. Thanks for watching!
Please rebuild your ttb, and rebuild everything not just one thing, those ttb will tear them new tires to shreds even if there's only one bad bushing, rebuilt my ttb on my 96 bronco and it drives so much better and dosnt chop my tires up anymore, and find somebody that knows how to align a ttb, there not bad but you gotta roll them back and forth and re-check the alignment a couple times to get it right
I definitely will at some point, hopefully soon!
@@GRAPPAHOLICS I know people bash on moog but if I remember right they have a complete kit to rebuild one and I have all moog on my ttb and have been using them for years on my bronco and never had an issue at all
@@jameshood3692 I’ll have to look into that kit, I’ve had good results with moog as well
@@GRAPPAHOLICS nvm the kit is just your ball joints, tie rods, drag link and such, but dosnt include the sway bar links, pivot bushings or the radius arm bushings
@@jameshood3692 good to know! Thanks for checking
What’s the width on those rims
I believe they are only 7in wide
They are 7.5in wide actually
How wide was your stock rim ?
They are 7.5in wide
are the rims 17 or 15
They are 15s
Twin I beam is junk , will definitely eat your tires up unless you're constantly rotating them. Solid axle swap it 👌
I have seen some really impressive twin traction beam Baja Broncos and plan to put it on coil overs eventually with the twin beams

@@rvbzero7 well if the dash wasn’t cracked and the seats weren’t still torn I’d probably ask $20k for it. I plan on finishing it over time

Looks as rediculous as my 175/55r15's on 15x4 wheels.
They make a 15x4? What do you have those on?
@@GRAPPAHOLICS I live in the Philippines where tire and wheel options can be extremely limited. It is not safe to run a Donut Tire on the street for any length of time especially with the heat over here. That said a donut Wheel is perfectly safe to run IF you can find a suitable street tire to put on it. The problem with that is you have a Limited range of tire sizes. On a 15x4 it would be ideal to run a Smart Four Two tire which is 145/65r15 or possible an early Volkswagen Bug size like a 135r15 ( they had 15x4 wheels also ) But those are impossible to buy over here. The narrowest regular size you can get over here is a 175. I have a 2wd owner type jeep custom built into a roadster style format running 15x4 wheels in the front and 15x9's in the rear. I am probably going to be going to a 15x6 in the front so I can put a 185/65r15 in the front which will look ok being I am running a 31x10.50r15 A/T in the rear. While this kind of combination sounds silly it actually looks pretty good on a CJ3A style Jeep that is 2 wd and slammed to look like a drag roadster.
