Default 33x13.5x15, and pics?

i found a good deal on some 33" tires but the width is 13.5, will these be ok on my 8" rims, and what about rubbing? i have a 4.5" lift and trimmed fenders

They will not come close to working on stock rims.. you will not be able to turn very far and will have major rubbing.. You will need new rims with the right amount of bs.. spacers could be used if there spidertrax spacers but any kind of spacer is never recomended. Always if at all possible new wheels with the right bs should be bought.

For a 13.5in wide tire a 15x10 in rim is good however be positive that it's a 13.5in wide tire and not a 12.5in wide tire as a 10in wide rim is to wide for a 12.5in wide tire if you ever plan on airing down and in that case you would NEED 15x8's.. With a 13.5in wide tire and a 15x10 would be ok for airring down..


I know I just hit you with a lot.. hopefully you are able to pick up on all that.. if not let me know and I will break it down better for you
