Default Will they fit

My friend just bought a set of 33x11.50x16 Interco Thornbirds tires for his Jeep but they dont fit his aftermarket wheels. He gave them to me to sell but I am wondering if they would fit my stock 16" rims.

Do you have a leveling kit? Or a body lift? That size is the same size as a 285/75/16. They will fit your stock rims yes, but you will not get them under the truck without a body lift and possibly a leveling kit as well

If you do not end up keeping them... How much are you gonna sell them for?

I have family that I visit often like 20 mins south of you.

I will need some 33's when I put my body lift on.

the thornbirds are really bad tires...dont pay much for that junk terrible offroad abilities...and wear extremely quick...you need +1'' wheel spacers and 5.5'' lift (same size as me 285 75 16) or leveling kit + henmenn fiber fenders +4'' and pulled bed sides +4'' like cody

285x75x16 (33x11.5x16) installed on stock rim...they rub on frame in the front...a set of spacer was more than 200$ so i went with M/T wheels 111$each

i have a mitsubishi raider, which is the exact frame, engine, and trans as a dakota. i cant say that the fendors are the same, but i have 285/75/17s on my truck. i have a 2" leveling kit. i had to remove my front mud flaps and trim with a box cutter or knife the rubber tire well.

here is a link to them installed

I am really impressed how the Crusher wear slow with a ultra agressive thread...you can ear them but they dont vibrate till i hit the top speed limiter
