Default 33x13.5x15 in a 4.5 lift

Been trying to find people that run this type of tire on here but havent had any luck.

Questions id have is does anyone have any pics of this?

Would they rub much or would i need to get a wider rim than 15x8?

And how much stickout would you get?

Thanks in advanced

I run 33x12.5 on 15x8, I know it's not what you're looking for, but it can give you some perspective if you want.

I think a 12.50 wide tire is about the max i would run on a 15x8. 1. because thats a really wide tire to have on a 8" wide rim and 2. I have 33x12.50x15's on 15x8's with 4" bs and i just clear my lca's. Why 13.50's and not 12.50's?

They will work fine on a 15x8 rim but they will wear funny. Im going to 35/13.5 in a couple weeks and 10 in wide wheel is the way to go with those imo.

The balloon look isnt for me. Are your fenders going to be cut? I assume so since youw ant to run 33s, they will stick out pretty far. Right now with 33x12.5 on 8 inch wide rims and 4 inch bs, my tires stick out a good 3-4 inches with no flares on. Add about and inch and a half to that with those tires and 10 inch wheels.

As for rubbing, ill let you know, with my tires i have a bit of room between them and my lca, i might rub a little but it wont be much.

Ol blue said it right. If its your dd, they will wear funny. And deffently dont try to run 35psi in them! haha Just try them and if they dont work, get a set of street tires and use the 13.50's for offroad only.

4.5" lift and 33" tires looks very nice and function very well
