Message:
Here is a question that has been brought up alot, but i want to hear it from a newer post. I have 15x10 inch AE 589's. I tried 33x1250r15 BFG AT's and they rubbed alot. Now I am thinking of putting my stock wheels back on and I need to know whether my 15x8 inch stock Dak wheels will be able to handle a 33x12.50 inch BFG AT. I have a 3 inch BL. and the T-bars are going to be cranked on saturday. Is this possible or should I stick with the 589's? They stick out really far now and I feel like cranking the bars will be too much.
Please someone help a confused dude out.
Where will I rub with stock rims and these tires?
Any pics of this out there?????

they will fit but keep in mind your stock rims are 15x7.. so it will look kinda goody and you need some backspacing as well.. best advice i can give is sell the 15x10's and get some 15x8's it will look alot better and the wheels wont stick out near as far and you will still have the backspacing that you need and the 33x12.50 tires will actually fit better too.. a 12.5in wide tire is actually intended for a rim 8-9 inches wide

also remember not to crank your torsion bars too high.. cranking up your torsion bars will put alot of stress on your front suspension and will thus cause things to wear out and break alot faster than they normally would.. expect your ball joints to go first...
