Default 33 13.50s

Anybody run a 33 13.50? I was wondering because I found a set on craigslist fairly cheap. And was wondering how bad they rub when turning. They are mounted on Mickey Thompson classic II wheels. Anybody have some experience?

The ad doesn't say the width but I'm assuming a 10 inch wide wheel.

Yeah, ad says 15X10, but, doesn't mention backspacing. I would ask him about that..... You have any lift on your truck? Half or 3/4 or 1 ton??

If the wheels have the correct backspacing. (I am going to guess right around 4 inches....) you should be ok. May get some rub on tight turns, and heavy flexing. With 13.5 inch wide tires, I would almost expect it. 3" lift will be good. (though 4 might be better? if a bit more expensive......)

Well the lift is free for me. A buddy of mine builds his own blocks and everything. So I can do anything I want. So I might do the 4

Bear in mind, anything over three, and you have to address front control arm length as well. (need to keep the axle centered in the wheel well at static ride height.)
