still feel like the tire and lift question section is kinda dead and I dont get solid feedback
sorry for posting in the wrong spot

I plan on getting 33's on the IRO long arm 5.5
do most 33's come as 33x12.5? can I make it on the 11.5 width?

main question is what size spacers should I get so those tires never rub
1"? 1 1/4"? different size spacers for front and rear?
I'm planning on cutting fenders as well. just never want them to rub

also want the stability along with the mean look of having those suckers sticking out further.

 

Never rubbing is hard with any tire. Mine would rub with stock tires and no lift on a good rut. It all depends on what wheel and tire combo you run. Not all 33s are created equal, some only measure a little over 31 and width is the same and both will be affected by wheel size.

 

i have square tube long arms and with my 36x13.5 tires on 10 inch beadlocks with 3.0 backspace, i don't rub, not even fully flexed out at full lock. it seems i have inches to spare on flat ground.

but when i put on my 33x12.5 with 8 inch steelie with 3.75 backspace, i rub in the parking lot at full lock.

you may do better with an 11.5 tire on 8 inch rim with 3.75 bs, but will rub with anything near 4 inch for sure.
