    What rim size would be recommended for 35-39" tires? My current 15x8 rims are too skinny and maybe too small? I notice not many larger tires are offered with 15" runs anymore.

    Yeah my iroks are the same. 39.5" measure out to 38.5" aired up. The creepies measure out to 39" I believe

    17" seems to be the new 15"

    The 37x13.50 ssrs i bought are sitting on 15x8 trail ready beadlocks. Theres 15s out there, mostly swamper stuff. 15s were not my first choice but i got a damn good deal on them, so ill grind and use wheel spacers until they fit!

    Surprisingly no. Actually a local 4x4 forum.

    For real. It's one thing to back out if buying but backing out of selling is shitty. Why even post them if you're not serious?

    At $1000 less than retail for essentially brand new tires I was willing to take the risk.

    THIS ^^^^^^^^

    Creepies clean out well, they have such deep and big voids. I did like them in the DRY environment, they HOOKED UP! Soon as they got wet though they fell FLAT ON THEIR FUCKING FACE! I even grooved them to help their traction in the wet environment... Can't say much if they helped. They do run small too, and with them being SUCH a STIFF tire you needed to air them down to 2-3 PSI and they just shrunk even more. When I aired them down that low (where they actually fucking worked better - unless it was super dry they were fine at 5-6) then they measured at 33.5". Brand new creepy, 32 PSI no weight on the tire was 36" tall....

    TLDR; Hook up in dry, SUCK A FUCKING DICK IN WET
