From what I have read no. I'm looking to see what tires to go with myself. And I'm doing a 2ish inch left. Sagging + bastard pack.....not sure of the lift yet. But I'm going for 2-3. And I think I can run 31's with little to no issues.33's tho you will rub. I'm going 2-3 inch lift. Spacers too. Then slapping 31's on. If I rub a bit o well. I think it will look good. I believe you will rub tho. Turning, and the rear may do so when loaded and doing over bumps. Someone else will chime in too.

Yes you can! (God, that sounds like Obama.)I had 33 12.50 15 tires on 15x8's with cut fenders & no lift. When fully flexed it BARELY scubbed.You will need some extended bump stops.
That was my experience, others WILL vary.

33's on a 2" lift and BW flares will be tight, but they should fit.

Really? They should fit? Dang. I was reading that 31s would run a tiny bit. So I figured 33s would. Maybe ill buy 33s now instead of 31s. I just dont want to cut my fenders. That's why I want to go with 31s. I will get.extended bump stops. Also wheel Spacers. I'm thinking close to a 3 inch lift in the rear and a deffinate 2 inch lift up front. So I think 31s will ne fine. But 33s may rub.

I had a 3.5" lift and cut the crap out of the fenders. It fit, but the fronts rubbed fully flexed when turning. I then added flares, and the rears rubbed like crazy. I would recommend a larger lift if you can.

ordering 31's friday... going to adjust my steering stops so I don't rub, doing the bump stops soon. I don't really do much flexing when out playing so I am not in the biggest rush for the bumpstops.
