Default Pro Comp tire/wheels combo

What do you guys think of this setup. Tire wear wise and will they fit my truck with just cranked torsion bars.
http://www.procomptires.com/allterrain.html
Pro Comp all terrians, SIZE 33X12.50R17 or LT285/70R17

These wheels
http://www.procomptires.com/pxa7089.html
Pro Comp 7089 series castr black
SIZE 17x9 with 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern

The tires I want are 33X12.50R17 on a 17X9 wheel.
Is this too wide or will the -6.00 offset fix this.

The wheels are bad @$$ but I don't care for the tires!! And you can fit 35's with just the t-bars cranked if you have the right offset wheels!

it wont hurt your torsion bar to crank it.i have yet to hear of anyone snapping it.and there are thousands who have did it.

i also like the wheels and not the tires.

Whats the difference if you crank the T-bar to a different angle or if the new keys hold them at a different angle?? Either way the bars are at a different angle then when you started!! So therefore there is the same tension on the bar either way!!

Yea I haven't been able to get either wheels or tires becuase ther so expensive and I started the system in my truck. When I do upgrade those wheels will be my first choice though. But i've had my bars cranked for a year or more and its perfectley fine and trust me, i've been doing some gnarly offroading like going through whoops at 15mph enough to blow a bushing off the shock and blowing the shock off the bolt. Just a little fun but the bars are holding up fine.

Those wheels are sick looking. I was looking at getting the same ones, but ended up getting some that look very similar, no reason why i switched. That style looks awesome on these trucks. I'd go with a more agressive tire, but thats just me (mine are overkill for what i need, just look awesome). Post some pics when you got that thing straight murda'd out, haha. Its gonna look bad@ss.

dont need to level or crank for 33's. 33's are stock size tire on 20" wheel anyway.

12.5" wide is getting pretty wide on a nine inch rim. it'll work, but you might have some premature wear issues. won't be the end of the world, but might mean you have to change tires sooner.
