Message:
Ok so now I have my 3" body lift done to my 99 dak.. and I was wondering about rims and tires. I wana go with 33x12.5r15's I know ima have to crank the torsion bars to do that but I would like to know if any cutting would be involved in getting those big tires on my truck. I have heard from people just to get 15x8 with less back spacing to put the tires farther out but it would crown the 33x12.5r15 tires... and I have heard that a 15x10 rim will make it extremely difficult to turn...can someone please clear some of this stuff up for me so I can get some rims ordered and some tires? thanks for any info in advance.

I have a 97 Ext Cab and put 32x11.5x15s on 15x10 rims and still had to trim the plastic on my wheel wells after putting on a 3" Performance Accessories BL and cranking the torsion bars. I get no rub except when I am steering on fairly rough terrain. I would shy away from the 33s but some folks say that they have them on with no rubbing. I don't see how that is possible because my tires run right up to the body mounts behind the wheel well when they are turned.

My 2 Cents would be to sacrfice the 1" gain and get the BFG AT Ko 32x11.5s



Cheers
