33's/stock rims/no wheel spacers / ? ?
Is anyone out there running 33's on stock rims and if so how bad is your rubbing? Is it strictly at full turn? Are you running a lift in conjunction with the 33's or not? I'm just trying to determine if the wheel spacers are necessary for my mostly dailey driver that will mainly see snow, sand and fs roads.
Thanks
Thanks

You'll most likely rub your air dam at a full turn and your fenders at a full flex but other than that, you should be good to go especially if the tires are only 10.50 wide. If they are 12.50's, you may have some tight clearance on the back tires as they will sit very close to your sway bar and links.

I asked this same question earlier and somebody told me to forget the spacers and just add a lift. So I'm also wondering whether a lift gets rid of the rub.

Thank you. I ask the same question about 33's on stock rims before I decided to do it. My 285-75-16 (33's) are used tires. I will probably replace then next month. I wanted to make sure everything fit before investing $700-$1000 on new tires. Do some research some 285-75-16's are not actually 33's. Goodyears and Pro Comp Xtreme MT's are but TrXus MT's are 32.7 if that matters to you.
