Default 33x10.5x15 BFG AT T/A tires on 15" black MB72 alloy wheels

Finally!!! I was approved for the Discount Tire credit card and got 12 months no interest on five new 33x10.5x15 BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A tires on 15" black MB72 alloy wheels. 3.75 BS. TPMS rebuild. Black lugs (except for the spare.) And a free set of locking lugs. Took about an hour to install.

Before...



After... (it was snowing like crazy)




Before...



After...







And some non-poser shots... in the middle of a blizzard!!!! (Stupid Utah weather.)





I love these wheels. I really like the white lettering, I know a lot of you guys don't, but they're mine. As posted by Discount Tire Direct before, these 15 inch wheels will not rub the calipers. So you do not need to grind them down.

Are you running on a lift or stock? I'm planning on doin the same thing with the same tires. But I was concerned with the calipers grinding on wheels if I went with 15"s Black Rocks.

No lift. The MB72s don't grind on the calipers... that was the main reason I went with them.

Nice Setup, how did you get that deal on those rims tires?

How much do your rims without the tires weigh? Also what is the MPG change before and after with this.??
Thanks

Yep!

As far as gas mileage, it probably won't be any different. The only thing I noticed was when driving 35 mph, the police trailer said 36, lol.
