trying to fit the tyres in the guards

gday guys
i know this is probably been up a few times but after searching through a few threads i just wanted some answers all bundled together to compare. I only just got my 89 Maverick and it has 33x12.5 mickey t mtz's fitted onto 15x10 -44 rims and they stick out way past the guards. it has the good ol garden edging flares on it aswell and they are still about 2 inches out past the plastic. I want to change the rims so they will fit under the guards to try and keep it a bit more legal so what wheel set ups are you guys running with 33x12.5 tyres? maybe even some pics woyld be great if you have them.
thanks in advance
Steve

33 12.5 on mine

I have 33x12.5 on -22 rims and I have the factory fibreglass flares, it's sticks out a tiny bit. I need to think of something to do for flares as I've tried Bunnings garden edging and hated the look.

AB, What offset are your rims? my setup will be very similar

I thought mine may have been - ve 13 but they stick out a little bit like Winnies.... Could just be due to make of tyre

Only pic I have right now... Running Mickey Thompson 4 rib ATZs

That's what she said...lol

Go to your local tyre shop get a

PCD: 6/139.7

OFFSET: 13N (i.e -ve13)

Is your best bet, I've played with alot of offsets and that seems to be the best.

Do you know any munufacturers of rims with that offset? It seems to be a bit of a phantom number and the local guys in my area cant get any. They only seemnto have the -44 offset ones I already have

Yup mate these are what I use.

Still struggling to find anywhere to get any 15x10 rims they all seem to have the -44 offset that i have already. Do i really need a 15x10 rim for 33x12.5 tyre or can i go something smaller like a 15x8? i kno i looked at the Mickey T website and they suggest from 8.5 to 11 for tyres this size. Is there anymore info out there to help?

Mate 15x8 rim will be fine for your tyres I would guess that 99% of 33x12.5R15 tyres are on 8" wide rims in Australia. Just make sure you get decent quality rims, procomp ROH or Dynamic are all usually good.

thanks alot mate that makes everything a whole lot easier to track down
