Would the drastic change in tire size cause any tranny problems? When i went up to 285 from the stockers my tranny started slipping and finnaly went out. When I took it back for warranty info they said that the tires size swap could have been the problem. I did not have any kind of programmer though.

I have never heard that tire size effects tranny performance!!! That is a cop out excuse from the dealer, the tranny was going anyway it was just a coincidence that it finally quit after you switched tires

To tell you the truth dude I have no clue what the with of my rims are. I have 0 rubbing at all with the 33's. Im also running no spacers cause i have the right backspacing which I dont know either.

Here is a pic of the tires sticking out. they dont stick out alot and I think the 33's are the perfect size/look/performance for a level.

they are most likely 20x10, i would look into different kmc wheels, a lot of people have rockstars, and there are a lot of choices in the xd series, the monsters are almost the same but without the star
