Do you have some sort of lift to fit those 33's under? Really staying with the stock size rims at 5.5" of BS is best to keep trimming to a minimum. I do not know the answer to your question. Sorry! Maybe if you gave more info on what you have to put these on someone else could help you out.

I run 15x10 weld racing wheels with 4 5/8 back spacing with 33x12.50-15 firestone wilderness at's. I have a performance accessories 3" body lift. I cranked the torsion bars up about an inch and a half no rubbing under normal use very little when crossed up. The only trimming was on the back of the inner wheel well bottom.

I have a 3" body lift. I have 33x10.5 swampers on the stock rims right now and it rubs a little at full turn on the frame, not bad though. So, I don't know what 15x10's will do with 33x12.5. I'm looking to put a little more of an aggressive tire than the firestones. Something that's up there with the swampers I have now =) Who knows maybe another set of swampers is the way I'll go, but I'm always scared of driving in the winter. They just dont seem to grip in the rain and ice is something I don't even wanna try. We had a pretty mild winter in Chicag last season so I didn't really have a chance to see if they are gonna kill me! Trimming? Is that hard? Does it make things look stupid? I have no idea! Help!

It's one of those things only you really notice or another Dak owner if he gets all up in the well. I would think you should not have to trim much.
