Would 33-14-15 or 33-12.5-15 boggers fit with stock trailing arms?
Also if they do fit what will it do to my gearing with a 3rib bus tran. My power plant is a 2180cc.
I will listen to all comments. Thanks

33x12.50x15's depends on the offset of the wheel. Not familiar with the 33x14x15, but my first thought is the 33's will kill that trans.

Yes it's a true IRS. So it looks like I need to buy some 31-12.5-15 Boggers then.
Thanks for the input guys. Now I wish I could find some used boggers close to me for a decent price.

I ran 33x14x15 boggers in the past on 15x14 weld beadlocks and they were 5" backspacing and my trailing arms are 2x3, they should work with stock arms, but if you run wide boggers on skinny wheels, they will probably hit your torsion bar nipple if your buggy has them because it will make the tire taller some.

With extended trailing arms they will fit..

Have you thought about running what you have for a bit longer and going with some 2x3 arms? You can run stock bus axles which are pretty cheap. Boggers are pretty steep in price (let alone just about any off road tire these days). Then get the tires you want, like some 33's. Not saying anything would be wrong going with some 31" boggers but if you prefer 33's is an option.

I can't say much for 14 or 12.50's but I've been running 33x10.50 boggers and a three rib for 2 years. Knock on wood. I do want to toss a 6 rib in for the gearing though.

You can putting short swing axle torsion bars & spring plates in your irs & run 33 . I run 33-14 boggers on 10'' wheeles with beadlocks make them 11.5 . I ran a 3rib with a stage 2 & cushlock for 2 years Good luck

I think I will just go with 31's. 31's there will be less strain on my CV's and Trans. Also I want to keep my stock trailing arms. I ride on some tight trails and I dont wanna go any wider on the rear arms. Plus I have limited supply of $$$. lol

Has that two years been with that 2500cc engine and 3rib? This is Clark (green buggy) from the Farm by the way.

A 2500cc would sound good but mines a 2054cc. I've had it all year, and ran a 1835 last year. I'm not with the big boys!

I run cut 35x15.50 swampers with a stock three rib and 2275 but I do ride like a girl so I aint sure I count
31 are as tall as you can go with stock IRS But Hyde has the easiest fix just cut down some swing axle spring plates and swap to the short torsion bars . The bars are stiffer also and dont need as much preload on them .
