I am looking to buy 33" tires for my truck. I currently have 285/75/R16s on there now and I wasn't sure how wide the 33" tires should be since most of them use the metric measurements and say the rim size is 16.5.

 

This site has a conversion calculator

You already have 33's. The 285's are 32.86 inches in diameter.

 

Care to attempt 305/75/16? You only need a LITTLE lift.

 

I don't want a lift I'm just going to level it out. I already saw that calculator and it says i need 33x11.22x16 tires....if you can find a tire that sizes its width is 11.22 than go for it....I've been seeing ones that are 12.5, would they be too big for the rim?

 

A level IS a 2" lift ... front only. I'm running LT285/75/16 (33's) without a leveling kit. With one ... I could go quite a bit bigger.

 

yea ur right it is technically a lift...with my 2 inch leveling kit what is the biggest tire i can fit on my 16 inch stock rim without rubbing?

 

Each truck is a bit different ... to find out about yours in particular ... I'd go up a size or two each time I needed new tires. That's what I did. If I ever level mine (or put a cheap 3" lift on it) I'm swapping on 305's when my 285's are history. I started with 265's. 245's are stock.

 

well i already have 285/75/16s on there but theyre worn out. Thats without the leveling kit so im curious as to whether or not i can fit 35" tires on it with the leveling it...ive searched the forums and got a bunch of different info so im trying to get a final answer.

 

Where are you planning to get the tires?
