I just put on my 2.5'' daystar lift today and keep hearing that 33's wont fit on my truck still. i was wondering if anyone knows if 33x10.50's might work instead of the 33x12.50s most people buy. from what i see they should clear fine but im pretty sure 12.50's would rub bad, but i was wondering if the 10.50's will be ok.

 

they should be fine... keep in mind that in that size, bfg is the only one who makes that size so you are limited to the bfg at or the mt

 

In all honesty, they should, depending on the backspacing. Im planning on going with some 33x1050s or 255/85r16s and use stock rims. I have both 15" and 16" rims so im still in a bind. Either black rims or the 5star trd ones

 

BfG is not the only one, also Interco makes TSL / Thornbird 33x10.50-15LT: http://www.intercotire.com/html/tsl___thornbird.htm

and 33x10.50R15LT Super Swamper Radial / TSL: http://www.intercotire.com/html/tsl___radial.htm

 

thornbirds suck ass, the only thing they are good for is looking aggressive.... look for them, i have not ever heard of 1 person saying they are actually any good, anywhere otehr than the looks department... the street swampers suck too, they have all the characteristics of the real swampers, but half the tread to begin with!

 

There are several companies that make the 255/85/16-most are over 33", around the 33.3" range. You will probably be fine on the street with that lift, but flex it offroad and you'll rub like mad on the backside of the front wheelwells. In that size (255/85/16), I believe you can find BFG, Dunlop, Kelly, Cooper, Interco, am I missing any?

 

Goodyear, Gillette, Winston.
That about covers it...

 

Thought the tire guru might chime in.

 

Yes, 33x10.50s are a good option and they also fit on your stock wheels. And with less width and stock backspacing on the wheels, you have less issues with tire rubbing:

also here we are looking @ 15" rims... not 16s....

 

He said he had 15" & 16".

 

ah, not the original poser of the thread but someone else.... carose725 is the thread starter jon something was the one who said he had 15s and 16s

 

Ooops...

 

i have 15's currently but im thinking of getting a set of 93 landcruiser wheels from junkyard next to my work to pu on they are 16x8.
