I would have to say no. If you did some hardcore trimming, you might be able to pull it off, but I don't think it would be worth it.

You need to be carefull. You don't want to put a big tire on and drill a bump, have the tire coil up into the wheel-well too far and fold up your sheet metal. I've seen it happen, it's not pretty. I'de say buy a high quality 32", you're only loosing 1/2" of height anyways. As for the width, I think you should be fine.

I just put the metric equivalent of 32" on mine, I have the TT and add-a-leaf, with no problems at all.

Yah I was thinking of putting 32's but just wondering if 33's would work. Do you have a ppicture of your ride? Thanks for the advice.

SCExplorer,
You could fit them with very minor triming as far as turning is concerned. I had my 33x12.5's on for a few days with only a t/t and shackle. But you're going to have rubbing at the top under full compression, since I had that problem with my 31's. I figure you'd need 1 - 2 more inches of body lift to clear them nicely. Or you could get some fiberglass fenders. . :)

Yah, i'm just still deciding what path to take. If i'm gonna spend the money, i want it to be good.
