33x12.5 t0o big?

Hey everyone. So my 1.5" body lift just arrived today so im starting to think about new tires. Currently i am running 31x10.5 on a 2" tb/shackle lift. I wanna get some big beefy tires, i asked on canada355 and racerX said i MAY be able to fit a 33x12.5, just wondering if anyone is running those so that i have a better idea of if they will fit. Pics would b sweet too.

Thanks

i believe minitruckin fit those with that setup but i know its not easy i think you have to cut body mounts and alot of plastic... dont take my word on that though

Re: 33x12.5 t0o big?

i ran them on 0 offset 17x10 wheels with cut cab mounts and extremely trimmed everything...

youll have tire rubb on the frame even at that offset tho.


mine was a zq8 with z85 parts and a cst 5in spindle tho...probably 2in higher than what your saying youll have once the bl is on.

Re: 33x12.5 t0o big?

I think it will rub like a mofo with only that lift and with that BS.

I dont rub anything but it was alot of cutting etc like darek said.

Re: 33x12.5 t0o big?

I have a 4in skyjacker with about a 2.5" crank and when i lowered my bars down i was rubbing while turning and hitting bumps. I still rub the inner fender slightly every once in a while and i'm on 4.5" backspacing 15x8's.

Re: 33x12.5 t0o big?

idk, you can fit 33x10.5 on stock wheels with just a crank up front, you should be fine if your thinking 33x10.5x15
