I didn't want to chop anything and use my stock wheels. The trails I'm used to have mud and rock so I chose the tallest tire I could fit (these are 33.3"). Plus I used to have similar tires on my landrover. Some people also claim better mpg from a smaller contact patch, but after I start adding armor it probably won't help much. I find the skinny tires work pretty well for my needs, the only thing they don't do well is soft baby powder like sand, I'd definitely would buy a wider tire if I had dunes to go over.
if anyone else needs new bfg's there's a promo going on till mid april for $50 off a set. it's not much but every little bit counts right?

Cool. I guess in SoCal there's so much sand around I always want a wider tire (planning to go from 285 to 315 this year).
Another MPG benefit of the smaller tire comes from it tire being lighter for the same height than a wider tire.
SoCal is nice, got lots of family out there and may eventually move there in a few years. I've had so many friends and family tell me about all the trails out there over the years. On the east coast they're so few and far between. I'd take sand and rock any day compared to the mud and water we have.
