Did you measure your backspacing yet?

k im starting to learn here.... lol

At the garage i put the 33s on the dakota rims

What are the specs of the stock 93 rims ? offset and backspacing

The lowest backspacing i can find is 3.75 on 15x8 rim other then that its 4.5 which wont help me.

So a 3.75 backspacing on a rim of 8 inches gives me an offset of -19mm right ? or .25inches?

Now how much is this going to stick out of the truck ? I want it to stick out alot so i have clearance for turn radius.

the 33x12.5x15 on the stock dakotas I could not turn more then like 1/2 ....until i touched the frame near the bumper on the passenger side.

So wondering how much more clearance will a 15x8 with BS of 3.75 and offset of -19mm give me. To what i had earlier then I was on stock kota rims.

P.S The rims the 33s came on r for 6x5.5 and r 15x10 with backspacing of 3.75 and an offset of 1.25inch -31.75mm ....

So if im correct yes the 15x10 have bigger offset but they r 2 inches wider so that wont help my case right ?

better with the 15x8 ?

is 3.75 and -19mm offset the best I can get for a 15x8 ? if so then if that dont work i need spacers?
