Talking Just Got 33's

Ok I have waited all weekend and i finally got my 33-12.50's put on. They fit perfect.. We had to do some slight modification to the lower back part of the front fenders and thats it. Took it for a test spin and they rode fine.. With out balancing the road smooth... They are mud terrains so they really roared but i love the sound.

I should have some picks up tommorrow.

i understand it is worthless without pics....

when i got them on it was dark and i couldn't take a picture.

i said i will have them tomorrow.


I was kinda hoping on some input about the lack of trimming i had to do... i haven't flexed it yet so i might have to do alot more trimming. It also looks like i could almost clear 35's but once again that is without flexing. I was really hoping on some input from others whether or not the trimming was for the flex or the everyday driving.

you will need to trim for both if you make a tight turn while going on a driveway or bump it will contact the fender a little but you will deff want to trim before going wheeling or you will bend the front and rear lower sections of the front fender. and the rear tires will rip off the stock fenders flares and tear them self's apart if you don't trim

you will need trim more in the front for daily driver and for off road. the front lower fender bracket will rub when turning over a little bump.
you can't really see it but the fender flare had ripped out the bottom screw and bent the end cap of the rocker. I trimmed about 1" off of the rear of the front fender but if you are going to articulate more than I had it you will need more.

you will need a lot in the rear if you are going to articulate it at all

I'm really leaning toward those for my next tire purchase, they look like a great tire. My friend has a set, and they do a lot better than my Pro Comp MTs do!!!
