Rusty_S85 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Yeah you are definitely right. I’ve got the full size spare too and I’m not particular about changing the wheels. I fall more on the resto end of the spectrum.. just after that awesome skinny tire look with an upgrade.. The Coker military’s are great we’ve had them on CJ5s in my family. However, I think that look can be a little early for the bullnose. Something like the super swamper 31x9.5x15 SAM-82R could be the biggest skinniest. Good look for the era but definitely going to be noisier. If the 31x10.5 tires barely rub I’m sure these skinnies would be ok Limited options here call for big trade offs I guess. For reference this is the look I’m chasing It also depends on wheel back spacing. Mine is spaced out to where the tires are even with the fenders not tucked in. If you go for a more tucked in look you may experience rubbing. I how ever am going to probably look at different brand of tires even though I love how quiet the KO2`s are and how smooth the ride is. I just hate how knobby the shoulders are that now has me rubbing at almost full lock which I never had before with the KO1`s I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the rounded military tires in mind. It looks like they have more of a “flat” almost AT style tire nowadays. I might end up getting a set of these tall boys. Perfect fit for the 15x5.5’s in 30” https://www.cokertire.com/tires/sta-traxion-700-15.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got their new Bias Look Radials that I will be running on my 56. They are a through and through radial tire from the ground up but they are designed to mimic the bias ply narrow tread wide cross section design. https://www.cokertire.com/tires/american-classic-670r15-2-3-4-inch-whitewall.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hub caps may be original but I’m not sure about the size of these steelies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
