Most stockers ask that same question.."Just how big is a 33X12.50, compared to my stock tire?"

Well, I have the pics...A BFG AT KO 33X12.50 next to my Firestone ATX 235/75/15. Yeah, I said ATX... ;)
For all people wondering just how big these tires are,
the folllowing pics will help you decide..

1: The width....

I wish....It belongs to my Jeeper friend. He just got them.

31 probably would be best for me though

I have been hanging on to this pic for a while, these are 38.5 tires and my expl with a 2" lift. Figured this is a good place to put it since you have 33's next to your explorer.

Here is a 35 up to my 97 with a TT and 31's. I'm not sure why it looks like it's been photoshoped, but it hasn't.

You would have to trim to make a 35 fit on a 94 with a 5.5 in suspension lift right?

Oh yeah. I have a 4" suspension and a 3" bl and every now and then my 33s rub if I have the wheel turned all the way in one direction and going up an incline. But a 6" Skyjacker should solve that :D

lol...that's true for a lot of lifted rigs i'm sure. I see them all around the house, lifted with swampers on it but it's never dirty

I hit some mud in my ditch today, all the snow is melting so it was nice and soft, was gonna park there like I do all other times of the year and ended up just making some HUGE ruts, the wifey was not thrilled!


I'll take some pics of my pretty new 35s tomorrow!:D
