Default 33x12.50's on no lift -pics

Now before you start the flame fest or start calling me a mall crawler I KNOW that I don't have crap for clearance in the back and if I go over a curb I'm going to rub. But you see, I had crappy street tires on it and these came up for sale for 150 for the tires and 5 rims. Couldn't pass it up. A 4.5" lift is in the works so don't worry, I'll be offroad worthy again soon. The rims are 15x8 with a 4" backspace and there is no rubbing during street driving. The front fenders are cut and the rear was cut using the cut, slice, and fold method. Another thing to note is I have 3.07 gears and it's still very peppy off the line. I suspect that's because I have the crappy ba-10 trans that has a pretty low first gear, 3.80 something if I recall. I'm just posting these because I've seen the question asked 1000 times so here it is, 33x12.50's with no lift.

I was very specific when I went to buy one, it had to be a two door and it had to be a 5 speed. I just wish it was the ax-15 5spd.

Why not just buy the rims and tires now, and keep your street tires on there until you get the stuff for the lift?

Becaue of two things, one they fit, however close, they still fit. And two, now I am more motivated than ever to get going on the lift.

Aren't you getting an insane amount of rubbing in the front when you turn the wheel?

Not at all, no rubbing what so ever, front or rear. I'm sure if I go off road the rear will rub bad when flexed but I seem to have plenty of room in the front. I cut the fender as you can see, and I also sectioned the pinch seam and bent it flat. The wheels stick out pretty far, a little farther than I'd like. I think that helped to keep it from rubbing in the front. I can take pics lock to lock if you'd like.

Looks nice. Even some $30 2" lift blocks would add a lot and wouldnt require much else than a few wrenches.
