Nice. Looks like Tusk Terrabites. What diameter are the tires and wheels and which wheel offsets to did you pick? Using spacers on the back?
The wheels are currently only avail in one offset 15x7", 3.5 +3.25 Offset, 4/136 Bolt Pattern. Yes, the tires are the T-TB, and are 32's.
Eventually, I plan on widening it to "R" width , so will build custom arms to correct the imbalance width issue at that time, as I am only running one rim width.. I despise wheel spacers, so I will live with the issue till I get that done..

Had to get the wifes horse hay stacked inside before weather today, so I didn't get to work on mounting tires much today. And yesterday I replaced all the equalizer hardware on the flatbead as it was shot.. I also didn't have a 12point 8mm, for the beadlock rings, so I also had to make a run to Lowes fo that. I did get two tires mounted, and at first, I just set them up against the car for pics.. But I just couldn't stand it, and had to mount at least 1. They change the entire look of the car. I am pleased with my choice looks wise!! I hope they perform equally well!!

32's look and work so good on the Talon. Like they were made for them.

how it it in tight slow technical terrain?

I’m assuming low range and 4wd.

does it make the power application like a rubber band?

Schmidty, have you had a chance to ride with the new tires/wheels? I'm curious if you have any tire rubbing with that 3.5 +3.25 offset and also how it handles with the offset.
