    i run a 16" wide on 10" wheels. i don't see 18" as a big issue on 10" either

    your truck is offroad only right? if so, you will never notice 1/2". general Rule of thumb is to keep your gear ratios/tire sizes within 2 %. keep it under a 2% difference, and the difference is negligible. that is about a 1.2% difference in height, and since circumference is a direct relationship to diameter, same applies.

      I don't see any issue with mounting an 18" wide tire on an 10" wheel. I run the 39.5x15.5 and a buddy runs 42x15.5 TSL's on 8" wide rims with no issues for several years...so if you can run 15.5 on 8 you can run 18 on 10.

      In pictures those 42" Boggers look really skinny and the 42" TSL look wide, would think it might look a little weird if that is true if you put TSL front and Bogger rear (of course I'm talking looks so it might not do as well at a car show). The slight difference in tire height should not be an issue.

        Yeah, dedicated off-road rig. That's what I was thinking, but wanted more input.

All the other places you mentions aren't even direct with Interco. 4wheelonline is some little office in Florida that never lays their hands on an actual part, that factoryoutletstore is the same thing. Some guy on the 20th floor of a building in NYC. NTB is direct and carry actual product, but don't carry much of Interco's stuff since the Denman fiasco several years back. Pretty much the same with everyone else outside 4WheelParts.

        4wheelparts Swamper inventory never evens sees the Interco warehouse in Louisiana. They bypass that and have them shipped in direct from Mexico. I'd give them a call and see what they've got.
        Called 4wheelparts and no deal. Said there is no ETA on them either. They have plenty of boggers, TSLs and Iroks.

        The 42.5" Bogger is only 13.5" wide, so you're right.

        Yes I have bead locks. Look back to page 1.



        For $138 more than the 39.5's, I can get the 42's. If I go 42's, I'll have to move the front axle forward and increase my wheelbase by 2-3". I'd like to have 42's, but not a 120" wheelbase... Unless down the road I link the rear and shorten the wheelbase. Then I could remove 2' of the back that I needed for the shackles. Think I just talked myself into it...

          The 42 boggers are very narrow especially where the actual tread is... The sidewall is wider than the actual tread... I didn't like the looks it function of them

            The specs say the tread is 10", same as my rim. lol. That would look dumb as hell.

            I really want to run a bogger in the rear because my truck is heavy and that sucks when it's muddy. Gravity is a *****. An 18" wide bogger would get real good traction. If I do 42's, then it'll have to be 4- 42" TSL's. I swore I wouldn't run 4 TSL's again. Such decisions...

              aetna cut TSL = Almost as good as a bogger IMO in the mud.

                The Aetna cut looks as if it would be a good compromise cut for TSL's. I'm not convinced it would be as good as a bogger but it might give better bite, better cleaning for a TSL. I think I'll research it for possible use on my TSL's on front/ boggers on back.

                  I've seen this many times, but I'd have a hard time paying $450 for a tire and cutting half the tread off.

                    The concept of cutting tread off a 450 dollar tire doesn't bother me IF it actually improves performance. I've been spending money on the jeep to improve it since I bought the jeep.

                    The change looks like it might improve thrust, help cleaning and not impact directional control for steering. Unfortunately I don't know that to be true and haven't read many reports as of now. I also worry that cutting the tire to that extent would accelerate wear or cause premature failure.

                    It's something to think about...

                          The 44 looks good that wide. Looks proportional. Are the rims 17 x 12?
                          Muffler shop... Does that mean it's almost ready to wheel?

                          The 39.5 x 15 TSL Bogger combo will run me $2050 shipped. A set of 43 x 17 SX will run me $2350 shipped. If I can get enough from my tires and rims to cover new rims, I would do it. Anyone have some 17x10 rims with beadlocks they want to sell or trade?

                              i can understand that. i believe i would have that same issue if i ever bought new tires.
