wheel spacers for 33" tires
I picked up a set of 33x12.5r15 tires for next to nothing and was planning on mounting them on the original 6 spoke mag wheels. Are these wheels wide enough for the tires? If so, what width spacers should i need? The truck has the t bars cranked and is sitting on the bump stops, shackle flip in the rear, and a 2 inch body lift
Stock rims are 6in wide. Yes the 12.5 wide tire will fit, most are not true to the size anyways, also some shops will not recommend it since it is beyond what factory calls for.
Wheel spacers push out the wheels further from the body and doesn't help fitting the tire on the rim.
You will get slight rubbing on the frame at full lock, just backing off the steering wheel 1/4 turn and you will clear. (Most of time you will never turn to full lock anyways). Wheel spacers will help with this problem but the downsides to the spacers are not worth it in my opinion. Just get wheels with less backspacing if that is what you want to do.
