    I've been wanting to get rid of the 15x10 wheels on my Jeep. I found a guy with some factory slotted mags that have been in storage for 20 years. Good time to put some new tires on. I found some General Grabber x3 in 33x10.50R15. Was looking at BFG KM3's but they are on national backorder.

    What do you think, with or without flares? I haven't made up my mind. PXL_20220517_191348721 (002) small.jpg PXL_20220517_191334049 small.jpg PXL_20220517_191334049 small.jpg

    JMO...for the skinnier 10.5 width - no flares....33x12.5 might work with the flares....but aesthetics are very personal choice. Do what you like best.

    ITLKSEZ Hope for the best, prepare for the worst

    I prefer no flares, but the mud and water slinging up onto your arm and inside of the windshield does get old.

    Looks good without flares. My preference as well. Do you have a shackle lift with stock springs, or some other lift?

    Lift was on it when I got it. Pretty sure it is a 2.5" spring lift and conferr shackles. I did end up pulling all the flares off at lunch today.

    Have a look at discount tire for km3’s. Despite issues they had them in stock for me, a few months ago anyway , and have the best prices around I think. Doesn’t hurt to call them anyway. And for those mags with that offset I think a 33-10.50 would be perfect myself.
