Default Just wanna make sure before I pull the trigger

I am ordering a set of Cooper Discoverer STT's 33x12.50x17.

And a set of these Crager Soft 8 rims. Heres the specs

17in diameter
9in wide
5 x 5.5 bolt pattern
5in backspacing


My truck is at stock ride height with the exception of a T-bar crank to level the front end up. I want to make sure that I wont have to return anything once I purchase them.

If you guys could let me know of anythiing I am missing I would appreciate it very much. Thanks

33 inch tires fit no problem on our trucks. My truck has the stock 33's on stock ride height.

You may have enough backspace on the rim to where you don't have rubbing. The 33 isn't the problem I see as long as the 12.5" wide doesn't rub the uca. That's the only thing I would worry about. Nice setup though for sure.
