Anyone with this setup? (MM 951's & Mickey Thompson ATZ)
 

Is there anyone out there running Moto Metal 951's (-12 offset 4.5" back spacing) and 305/60/18 ( 33x12.50) Mickey Thompson ATZ's?

What do you guys think about this setup? would they look too small, since they are only about an inch larger than the stock tires.

With a 2" AS would there be any rubbing AT ALL? I am thinking no but... you guys seem to be more experienced with this.

I have a 2007 4x4 screw with factory 275/65/18 rugged trails. I have seen the pics with 325/60/18's and I think they stick out a little too far for my tastes with the Moto Metals (with the 4.5" back spacing). And I want to avoid any trimming if possible.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If those MM wheels are 9 inches wide, they will stick out 2.5 inches farther than the OEM wheels. That combo will probably fit without rubbing. The backspacing (4.5") is why the wheel/tire combo you mentioned sticks out so far. If you don't care for that look, go with a MM wheel with more backspacing.

Thanks for the reply Wandell. I know I saw this info somewhere on this forum (I am in "information overload" since buying my truck last week and reading these forums) but what is the offset and backspacing of my factory wheels. They are the 18x7.5's on a 07 4x4 lariat. Thank you. :beers:

Why not go the MM951 20's with 35'??

Grubrunner,

I looked at your gallery and I think those stick out the perfect amount. I am assuming those are not the negative offset 951's. What size tires are you running?

I posted a thread on my whole ordeal HERE.

Everything you want to know is in that thread.

Good luck!

:thumbsup:

The oem 17 and 18 inch wheels have 5.5 inches of backspacing.

i have the MM951's with 33x13.50's, there is no 12.50 in a 33 that fits an 18" rim.

check my gallery

Hey cannon, look at the following link.

They claim their LT305/60/18 is a 33x12.50 equivalent.

well hell, thats actually what i wanted when i got my tires and wheels, but I couldn't find that size. i stand corrected.

If you search the Mickey Thompson Website they are now making a 305/70 R18 = 35/12.5 R18. I just called today to get a price because i have not found them in the internet anywhere. 4wheelparts has them for $282 right now.

ya a buddy of mine just bought 33x12.50 swamper trxs.... its so nice on those moto metals thats my next thing to do... anyone know anywhere i can find them cheap?
