can you cram 33x12.50 16 under a 3rd gen?
I was wondering if I could cram thoes tires under my wheel wells. I curently have a 3 inch revtek up front and 3.5 downey HD in the rear. With a 2 inch body lift on the way from RB. The only problome/ question I got is I'm running a tottaly different rim size than everyone else's 16x7 . Its a 16x10 weld . Not to sure of the offset though. Right now without the body lift, Im fitting 265/70/16 on them untill the lift is done. All I really want to do is fill in the wheel well best I can without the risk of rubbing. Thanks for the input guys.

I'd think you'd have to deflate them a bit...
I can barely fit my 265/70/16 spare with the Hidden Hitch I have.
When I put the 32" spare under there I'm going to deflate it a bit and make sure I have reliable on-board air.

the width on those rims are gonna kill ya. it could be hard to fit that wide of a wheel/tire combo. however, since you have that 2" BL, they should fit. ive got 33x12.50 R15s w/ 2.5" of lift, and lotsa pounding/ trimming on the firewall and fenders

I could be wrong but I think Steve Schaefer tried 35's on his 3rd gen. I would say if he fit 35's then 33x12.5's would fit with the same mods he made.

I should ask him, but Im not worthy to lick any dirt off of his 35s. he is all knowing. But a little side note, I saw a 3rd gen runner at my friends shop on 16.5x14 welds wearing 35s and it looked awsome. I am jealous

Im still lost on this debate though. I was reading on another thread that they dont recomened running a 12.50 on a 10 inch rim. So would't it be better to run the 285/75/16 on my current 16x10s. One day I hope to achive the level of Schafer, but in the scheme of things your doing better than me Keisur, your already locked and loaded

16x10's are fine for 305's. I know I can put them on my 16x8's which is why I went with that width for my 285's, thinking ahead. According to BFG, 16x10's will work for what your looking to do. http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/asset...rain_ta_km.pdf
as for the scheme of things, aw, I have a family to support so I'd rather not starve them to be the coolest. just enough to get me through the terrain I run is what I say. I'm done with the offroad performance mods for a while now unless I get an unpassable deal on a winch.

So you think that the 33x12.50 16s will clear the lift with no problomes. Or is it better to go with the 282/75/16? I just want to make sure the tires dont rub at anytime. But sad to say, I only have a 2wd, but when I get some money Im gonna lock it pre-runner style.

I rubbed with a 3" susp lift and no body lift. I installed a 2" body lift about a month ago and I haven't rubbed since. So I can only speak for my setup. with the stock front bumper the valence will need to be trimmed a little on the bottom edge closest to the tire with the 285's. I would also say that whether or not the 33x12.'s rub will depend on the backspacing of the rim. you want to get as small of a backspace as you can. I think I'm running 4.25" backspacing and they have about an inch or 2 clearance from the a-arm.

I dont mind the trimming, of the bumper. But did you have to grind down the pinch weld in the front rear fender. I read that some people had to do that.

So Just..... beat it.....beat it.....(something something)......Show them how funky.....
Sorry I couldn't resist it. With pounding of the pinch weld, which way did you pound it flat. I figured that I would pound the weld twords the engine, to prevent it from cutting my tire if anything happend over time.
Thanks for you help

You will be able to fit 305/70 not problem. I am not sure if a 315/75 will fit beings your truck is 2wd and 10 inche wide wheels. I would not put any thing but a 12.50 inche wide wheel on a 10 wide wheel. I bet 265/75 look crazy on 16x10.
