guys, ano ang pinakamagandang lapad ng mags ang bagay sa bj40? 15x8 or 15x10 para sa size 33 na mt tires? tnx

Depende yan sa lapad ng tires na ikakabit mo.  Kung 33X10.5, I would suggest na 15x8 pero kung mga 12.5 ang lapad ng gulong, 15x10 would be better.  I think you will be pleased with a 10.5 inch tire since it will be very easy for your axles to handle this size.  Just remember that if you go to 33's, you may have to regear your diffs to get proper gearing.  By the way, make sure you get adequately offset wheels so it does not interfere with your steering.

I recommend 5 x 8 with 3.75 backspacing and 6 x 5.5 bolt pattern.

ic. san po ba pwede magparegear ng diff. sir? bago lang kasi ako sa offroading, magkanu po magagastos pag nagpa regear ako? any recommende shops sir?....

Regearing will require you to buy 2 sets of ring and pinions to replace your existing ones.  First determine how large you plan to go with your tires so you can gear accordingly.  Ideally, you will want to regera in the same proportion as the percentage increase in tire size or actually even slightly greater. For example if your stock tire size is 30 inches and you want to increase to a size 33 tire, that would be a 10% increase so you would also want to do the same with your differential gear ratios.  In fact you may want to go to about 12-14% to factor in the increase in tire weight and rolling resistance.  Getting new gears isn't exactly cheap so always keep in mind what you want the finished product to really be so you don't spend unnecessarily.

Actually hindi sa leaf spring sasayad, kundi sa tie rod end pag more than 3.75 ang back spacing.  Yung sayad sa leaf spring, it will depends on the tire diameter your using.

I used to use 33" on my BJ, no regearing stock 4.11, ok naman siya pero i think if you use larger than that, you need to regear otherwise your 4th gear will be useless.

I used to use 15x10 mags pero i switch to 15x8 para hindi siya gaano kadali ma de-bead pero kung porma, maganda talaga yung 15x10.

Just like on the other topic, the recommendation made to me was to stick to my present 4.11 gears and use na lang my existing american tech wheels 15 x 8. I was advised not to spend right away and try to compare notes with others. My 3B engine seems to be taking my 33's quite well. Although i must admit i don't drive that fast. Nag crossover steering na ako kaya naiwasan ko na yung sinasabi ni sixpack na wheel(tire?) rub. Sira na rin yung my tirerods kasi kaya it was a great advise to me.

dan cruiser

ic. tnx for your info sir, so mag 15x8 nlang ako pero gusto ko talaga mag 15x10....nakakahilo,hehehe, pero based on your advice, 15 x8 will be better ryt? naka power steering nba kayo sir? hindi b mahirap magliko sa 33 na tires on 15x8 na mags pag hindi pa power steering?

dan cruiser

sir sixpack,
wat do you mean na madali na de-bead? you mean mas mabilis maupod ung 33 sa 15x10 compared to 15x8?......tnx

When you go on serious 4wheeling, tires sometimes get-off the rim.
