Hello all,
I am searching for tires. I like the look of the baja claws. I want an aggressive look, however I want to maintain near stock ride height, i.e. no lift kit, this is my daily driver.
I was looking at the baja claw radials on mickey's website the other day and according to them I can fit 33x12.50's on a 17 inch rim under my truck with no lift kit. I really don't want the tires to stick way out past my wheel wells either.
What do you all think I should do? If you have any other opinions on tires let me know.

Thanks all,

Chris

 

more info,
Also, as i forgot to mention, I dont really want to hear these things as i'm driving down the highway, enough that if i have the radio on i can't hear is ok. I just thought that since the mickey's are radials, they won't be as loud.
My truck is a 4x4. I"m not sure if it needs a leveling kit. It looks borderline. It has a slight lean, but not near as much as some i've seen.

 

they should fit might have to cranc up your torsion bars some and cut some of the fron valance, i have the same tires just alot bigger, they are not that noisy for a mud terrain and they are the best offraod tire i have ever owned and i have owned alot, i think you will be empressed with the claws

 

I agree. You can fit them by using the stock or 8,9 or 10 inch wide aftermarket wheels. If you use a 10 inch wide wheel you will have to trim a little plastic off the front bumper's lower valance.

 

Thanks guys!
How far will the tires stick out my fenderwells, and when I use my stock rims will they look like black yeast doughnuts with a little rim in the middle. I'd like to say looks aren't everything, but let's face it, they are!

 

THey won't "stick out" at all if you use the stock wheels. If you use a 17x10 wheel with 4 1/2 inches of backspacing, they just barley stick out past the fender flares.

 

I have the 33 x12.50 x17 Baja Radials on my 2001 4x4 Lariat. They fit fine with no lift or torsion bar crank. I did not have to cut the front valence either.

ALso, I have my stock saw blades. The tires look good, but next time I will get sightly wider rims from 7.5 to like an 8 or 9".
