Ok, who has installed a 2.5BB and l33" tires on their stock 16" steelies....

Problems?

Pictures?

 

No BB, but I put 33's on no problem. Looks a lot better in person, but I'll probably swap out for crager soft 8's soon enough.

 

wes do you have any problems with the tires rubbing

 

I was wondering the same about the rubbing...

 

For the most part, no. I do have a little bit of rub at certain turn angles at slow speed. Usually with the wheel cranked backing out of my driveway. It's rubbing up front on the air dam. Other then that, I havn't noticed anything. I havn't done any extreme rocks or anything yet either, so I don't know how much rub I would have at full stuff, but from what I have read it's pretty bad.

Hope that helps

 

Are you usng any spacers?

 

Anyone else running 33's on stock steelies???????

 

You do have spacers on those right? They seem to be a lot further out than mine. I ran 33s on the stock steelies for a little bit, and it did rub some. One inch spacers would work great! If I had put on spacers then it would not have rubbed at all unless at full flex. But I went ahead and put on a bb 1.75 and got the Cragar soft 8s. I like it.

 

sorry about the delay in the reply...

i put 285-75/16 on my stock steel wheels (roughly equal to 33") with a 2" BB. had slight rub on the rear sway bar, so i went with 1.5" Spidertrax spacers, made a big difference. not to mention it fills out the wheel well a little better and has a better look to it...
before (i know not the best)



After

 

Nope, not spacers at all. Just slapped the new tires on the rims and called it a day. I did have to pick up a spacer for the spare to fit on the tailgate though. Other then that, I have no problems.
