Chris.

Hey guys I am new here, like many others Ive browsed for a while but finally joined. Anyways I have read up a lot and found different opinions on if 33's will fit with no lift. Well I found a set of Eagle Alloys series 137 with BFG KM2's for $250. Couldnt pass it up, so I also couldnt resist putting them on to see if they fit. Well they do and I have zero clearance/rubbing issues. Any questions/comments/flaming is welcome. Thanks

On another note, does anyone know if I tint the back windows will they still have a tan/mirror appearance or will the go dark like my fronts which I am trying to match. Thanks in advance.

Now go back out of an inclined driveway and get back to us with what gets ripped off.

Do not do any sort of flexing...trust me! Your rear will hit your fenders if you hit a good enough bump.

The fronts will probably rub when turning too...had 32.11x50s on my pickup with a 2" lift and still had rubbing issues when the suspension compressed on a turn. Looks good tho!

*Edit* Super clean truck by the way...

For your windows you can get whatever finish you want. Just be specific when you get it.

The best way to see if your tires will not rub at full flex is to fully stuff the tire and crank the wheel.

To do this:
Put the truck on jacks, relax the torsion bars all the way and put the floor jack under the tire. Then jack up the tire till it hits the bump stops and then turn the wheel. Mark the spots where it hits (fire wall and bumper), lower the jack, take the tire off, pound in the marked areas on the firewall and cut off the pieces of the bumper.
Re-install the tire, test and repeat as necessary.
Repeat for other side.

Another thing to note is those tires are pretty worn. My worn out 35s were shorter than my new 33s.

Exactly what I was going to say. I have the same tire in a 32x11.5 brand new I bet my 32 is a larger diameter than your 33 is right now.

I also have a 2"lift and mine still rub on the pinch welds at full lock and compressed.

Those are some nice wheels, not to mention a clean runner. Im guessing it has a lot to do with the backspacing. Ive got brand new 33s and i rub even with a 1.5" body lift up front. My wheels stick out by about 1-2" though.

as for window tint, if u have the back replaced tell them that u dont want the bronzed stuff, it will be black like the fronts the stuff thats on there is bronzed or just old stuff, for the rubbing, do a spacer for the rear like 2 inch and 1.5 ball joint spacers and u might only get a little rubbing, but not as much as u have now.

BMcEL

1.5" body lift just up front huh? Haha. Keep in mind new tires are taller than worn tires and some tires can be taller/shorter than what they claim to be. For example my 33" Toyo MTs and my 35" Dean SXTs both measured out to 34" tall when new.

ToyoTech559

guess no one is gonna mention the running boards...
since the tires are so worn out he is probably at 32 maybe even 31s

Vato Loco

Measured my 33's lastnight, and its at 31"...lol! No wonder I didn't rub...haha!

if all your back glass is tan tint and mirrored, you may have factory tinted glass, where the tint is IN the glass, not a film on top of it. adding more tint film inside would INCREASE it's mirror effect, but it would of course make the tint color darker.

so i'm guessing that to make all the glass match, you would need to remove the standard tint on the front windows, and buy a higher quality, more mirror reflective film, which will provide a better match to the factory tinted glass. and you may as well get it in brown, not grey.

otherwise you're going to have to swap all of that factory tinted glass out to non-tinted, so you can then tint it with standard grey film.

but again, this is only if the tan mirror tint is in the glass. if it is film, just have it r&r'd

Try tinting the rear windows 5% and thats probably the closest you'll get to matching the front windows.

Chris.

Thanks for all the replys. Yes the tires are worn and I am 95% sure thats why i get no rubbing. I havent done any flexing just driving the piss out of her on the streets, hit some decent bumps in the road and wavy pavement and no issues. I am sure with a new set of rubber that will change. And yes about the windows, my glass itself is tinted so I will have to mirror match the front for now till I can source cheap glass (wrecked 4runner). Like I said thanks again. I just tinted the tails I dont know if anyone cares but ill toss up some pics here in about an hour.

LOL, I have a 1" BL, 33x9.50s on 15x8s and the rub up front against the cab backing out of my inclined driveway. They'd really have to be tucked inside the fenders not to rub.
