eww. but just saw there on backorder.

 

damn. well it wont be another couple months till i order some anyways

 

ditto. hopefully they'll have them and for the same price.
Do you (or anyone else) know what rim width I should get for 10.5 tires??
I dont want to blow a bead when airing down.

 

couldnt tell ya. i went from 15x7 to 15x8 which are plenty of rim for a 10.5 from what ive heard. if youre really worried about blowing a bead buy a rim with bead locks

 

I feel beadlocks are unnessary. I was thinking 7" but that seems so small. And 8" only gives so much extra width when airing down.

 

ya. i mean i think goin down to 20 psi you will be good any lower and ive heard you run the risk of blowin the bead. i think a 10 inch width rim would just be too much

 

I air down to 15 in front, 13 in back.

 

The best answer to this is go on the tire mfg website, look at the spec sheet for that specific size, and find what rim widths it's approved for mounting on.

 

Run 8" rim with 10.5's you will be fine you won't have to worry about blowing a bead the less width you have the better your tire will hold onto the bead. I have more of a chance of blowing a bead then you would and I air down to 15 to 18 every time I wheel. and Ive went down to 5 on sand with no issues.

Also I think a 8" rim would look best on that tire. I think Alvin have 32x10.5's on a 15x8" so you can check out the width it looks good.

 

I would go with 7.5 or 8" wheel.

 

ya just looked it up.
They say Minimum 7" Maximum 9".

 

yeah 8" should look good.

 

I bought a Hi-Lift off craigslist last night. Oddly enough, he also has a 2nd gen taco that he used to wheel in. I invited him to the meet, so hopefully he shows up.

 

How much did the highlift set you back?

 

I bought mine on Amazon it's the 48" Hi-Lift Extreme and it was 90.29 out the door.

 

$50 for the 48"



I also found an air tank for $10 on CL. Going to start fabbing up an OBA system soon. Gonna connect my MV-50 to this thing



Still doing research on how to do the plumbing for the whole thing. Maybe I'll pick Seth's brain apart at the meet. I forgot to check out his set up on his FJ at mod day

 

Nice! now you can test and see if your sliders are strong enough on Thursday

 

Mj you can test that hilift out on my runner since im gonna swap my tires out that day.
