anyone running 33/12.5-15?
I did a search, and almost all the info I could find on rubbing was related to guys running 285s on 16" rims. From what I could tell, 285s on 16s are a bit narrower than 33s on 15s. I'm concerned about rubbing, especially on the upper A arms in the front.
Anyone running 33s on 15" rims? Do you get any rubbing? Where? I'm not as concerned about rubbing on the body since I'll be installing a body lift when I go to 33s. Rubbing on the front suspension may be a different story though.
I'm especially interested to hear from anyone with 33s on 15s who is running OME gear up front.

I was told 33x12.50's would hit the arm, I do not know for sure though. I was going to try to run 33x10.50's with my OME setup but I'm skeptical that it will work well so I will probably just run with 32's.

With my 33x10.5x15's i can just barely slide a finger between the tire and the A-arm. So with a 2" wider tire and also a 8" rim you will need a 15" wheel that will push the tire away from the A-arm. I emailed "Casey" from the forum awhile ago because he test fited 33x12.5x15 on American Racing Bajas with 3.75" of BS and this is what he said....
What size Body lift are you going with? I am guessing you will need at least a 2" to fit these and not have too bad of rubbing.

ok well the 33x12.50's didnt rub at all on the a-arm, the only problem i had was the rubbing on the front valence and in the rear of my front fenders. i think my backspacing on my baja's are just right.

I thought about going with 33/10.5-15s, but BFG is one of the few (if not only) manufacturers to make an MT in that size. I'd rather not go with BFG if I don't have to. What's the backspacing of stock rims... 4.25"? I haven't decided on a body lift yet... probably go 2", but still debating about a 1" BL.

while doing a recent tire search of my truck , i wanted to use 33x10.5 x15 after i got my lift put on , and you are right , bfg 's are the only one i found , although ifyou wanted to go a little more narrow you could go with 33x9.5x15 from les schwebs , im using a 15 x 8 rim with 3.75 back spacing , so i opted for that route , had i gone wit ha 15 x 10 rim earlier when i got my wheels i would have gone with 33 12.5 , but i didnt so know im working wit hthe 9.5's which really wont be too bad , although i have a t-100 , so my issues could be dfferent then yours , but i figured id chime in with what i found for tire sizes .

Thanks for the info everyone. I found some good info on the 4x4wire board. Marc Z is running 33/12.5-15s and he posted some good info about getting them to fit his rig.
