Default q about 33"

will a 33 x 1.50 x 15 fit my stock wheel? I guess not, but I can get a great deal I can get 4 Mickey Thompsons MTX for $350

I know I probably cant use 33"

btw I have a 2.5" lift

I dunno about fitting the rims, but you would probobly have to trim. My 31" on a 3" lift and I can make them rub the front if I turn hard.

31" with a 2.5" lift will work just fine. You will need to adjust your front wheel locks to keep them from rubbing during turns. 12.5" on stock rims will rub on the leafs in back.

I have 31s on stock 16x7's with a 3.5" lift and they rub pretty bad on turns.
to keep them from rubbing i have the turning radius of a semi...
time for some wheel spacer!
