I've got the 33x12.50x17 General Grabbers and have been looking for rims, but can't find a set that I like and the ones I do like don't fit. I really like the Dick Cepek Torques, but does anyone know if 5" backspacing is enough to run this tire? and they have a +6mm offset, idk if that will have a huge impact or not.

I run 33's and these tires make no change to anything. 35's are when you really need to worry about gears and all that stuff.

Positive offset and 12.5" wide tires won't fit on the coil-over front ('06+) 4x4s, but the torsion fronts have a bit more room, you should be OK with the Torques, but it'll be tight...

I've seen torques with negative offset. The dc-II (what I'm getting) have negative offset

Well, rims were back ordered for while and ran into a few other problems, but I finally got one on for a test fit yesterday. It fits perfectly and looks great! thanks for your input guys.

Damn! Grabbers might be my next tires when I finally switch to 17s. Those look purdy

I'm probably gonna get Mickey Baja Claws as my next tires, which won't be for some time, my almost six year old Cepek FCIIs are only showing very minimal wear. But I'd be tempted to go with the Grabbers, those red letters would look badass on a red truck!!!
