Default should I run 33s on a 3 inch lift?

Wondering if 33s would be good on a 3 inch lift? Already have 31s on it.

If you're not afraid to cut, it should be fine. Adjust the bump stops accordingly so you don't cut tires.

x2. There's plenty of up travel after you cut, but bump stops will keep the tires out of the fenders. should I run 33s on a 3 inch lift?-image-2005728904.jpg

I cut my fenders and have ran 33x12:50x15's (wheels 15x8" with 3.75" BS) for quite a while. Increased to 4 1/2" lift and now able to run my extra set of tires and wheels (35x12:50x15's) still do not rub, no extra trimming.

3" lift and 33s is great combo. I prefer less offset (4-4.5backspace)and 33x10.5s with this combo as it looks stockish but beefy and tucks much better.
