I know this topic has been beaten to death but I have a 1998 dodge ram2500 quad cab with a 2" helbent steel leveling kit up front. I was wondering if anyone has a few pics of what it will look like with 33x12.50 tires on it? I did a search and couldn't find any good pics. Also do you think they wil rub? no other mods to the truck and I want to run 16x5 rims not sure what kind of backspacing is on them yet . thanks guys

A 16x5 rim wil not be wide enough for a 12.50.

 

they will rub.. search harder dude..

 

Hopefully he meant 16.5 rims, a 5 inch wide rim I don't think exists in anything bigger that a riding mower.

I must have a bigger lift on my truck then I thought, I can run 35's and they only rub on full steering lock. I run 33's when I can find them used and stopped running 35's because they were just to damn heavy for my stock gears.

 

Jack got any more pic's of your CJ ?

 

you can fit them with no probs what-so-ever highly doubt they will rub even at full lock turn, maybe if it was a 1500, but a 2500 sits just a touch higher to begin with.
if your gonna run a 12.50 wide tire you need at the minimum 8" wide rim, would suggest using a 10" rim.

 

Not many put together, it is the process of getting an engine rebuild and new (junkyard) interior stuff.

All of my pictures of my truck, travels and jeep are here, along with pics from the LA auto show a year ago.
