I CAN FIT 33s ON MY 1500 WITH OUT A LIFT KIT. I HAD 31s ON THERE AND THERE WAS STILL SOME ROOM. I WAS THINKING 32s. BUT YOU THINK THAT 33s WILL FIT WITH NO PROBLEM. IV JUST GOT THE STOCK 16 WHEELS ON IT TOO I DONT KNOW IF THAT MATTERS.

Dude, lay off the coffee, and turn off the damn caps lock. I decifered the fact that it's a 1/2 ton. Assuming it's a 4x4, you can fit a 265/75r16 (about a 32x10) with no rubbing at all. You can probably fit a 285/75r16 (33x11) with no rub if you have stock rims. With aftermarket rims, they'll rub.

If it's a 2wd, 265's will probably be the biggest you can go, and those might rub a little.

I had 285's on stock rims, stock height and no rubbing. Put on some MT classic II's and still stock height and still no rubbing... Have a 2 1/2 lift on there now and am real happy with it...

I had 285/75/r16s on my stock rims and they rubbed the lower 4 link in the front when I turned the wheel to lock....I currently have 32/11.50/15s with 3 5/8 backspacing and they don't rub at all but that doesn't really help you...I have always heard that 33s fit, but I don't know how if myne rubbed?
