Specifically I'd like to mount 235/85 BFGs onto ANR4636 5.5 X 16 rims. thanks Brian   Steve Cooper (Scrover) Senior Member Username: Scrover Post Number: 721 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 24, 2004 - 05:48 pm:    Have not tried that yet. We did just test fit a 8.25 XZL on a 5.5" rim and it worked fine. That's about a 230/100 equivalent. Looks bad-ass too I would go for it unless anybody says otherwise...

Other people will tell you it won't work. Just don't air down too much.   Brian Hong (Discotu) New Member Username: Discotu Post Number: 8 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 24, 2004 - 06:31 pm:    thanks for the info!

For more pics see Art's series website: http://pub145.ezboard.com/fgunsandroversfrm7 I think the lowest that they have been aired-down is around 12 pounds at Anza Borrego: no problems.

Prolly be better off with 6" or wider rims. But I drove all summer and fall with 'em. I can live with them for now.   Brian Hong (Discotu) New Member Username: Discotu Post Number: 9 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Wednesday, February 25, 2004 - 12:59 pm:    thanks Dave! now to go shopping   David Woo (Davidwoo) Member Username: Davidwoo Post Number: 88 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Wednesday, February 25, 2004 - 01:06 pm:    Brian: so, does this mean that the series one is getting finished? Or another truck? DW   Eric E.

I've got 31x10.50's on there and they fit perfectly, but don't know if I can manage to cram the disc brake package back there....
