Question Can you run 33X13.5 with stock suspension?

Do i keep or do i sell? I have a set of 33x13.50 R20 Super Swamper Irok's from my Dodge truck. Will they fit on my '09 Rubi 4dr 6spd with stock suspension? If so, I'll just purchase the lightest set of 20" rims with the appropriate offset. If not, eBay or Craigs list will have a set of Iroks on it. Looks like I'd have plenty of room with correct offset? ANybody done this yet?

Search around... I'm not totally sure, but I think you can't do more than 10.5 wide on stock rims. Your situation will depend on the backspacing and width of the wheel. With the right spacer or wheel backspacing, you probably could do it.

With the right backspaced rims you shouldn't have any problems. I have no lift yet and have 33s that are about 12" wide...not just the tread, but sidewall to sidewall. I have 4.5" BS rims and no problems with rubbing.

I wouldn't even think of running 20" rims if you intend to go off road.
