ZUK - TIRE UPGRADE

Zuk had 31 inch tires with a 10.50 inch width. 
I wasn't considering a 33" tire as the most common 33" tall tire width is 12.50 inches, which would make my tires stick out way too much from the fenders.

I came across a smoking deal on some almost new 33 x 10.50 x 15 BFG KO2 M/Ts on Jeep rims. 
So I sold my old 31's, and am selling the Jeep rims and some spare rims I already had, the 33's come in at almost $0 :)

So far I'm not feeling much difference in the bigger heavier tire. The speedo has corrected itself tho :)

I do have a clearance issue with one shock hoop on full lock.

I also had to deal with the fuel filler pipe as the tire blew a hole in it. So I made up a smaller steel pipe with an extra bent to clear the tire.

...other than that, I'm super happy with them :)
