If you wonder how big 33's really are.... - Ford Explorer Ranger Enthusiasts "Serious Explorations"®

Crankcase · 03-07-2003, 04:10 AM

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....

2: The width front to back...

Crankcase · 03-07-2003, 04:14 AM

3: Long shot.

Crankcase · 03-07-2003, 04:16 AM

4: Close up...the tire wont even fit under there

5: If you can't decide on white in or out, here is the reverse of the last pic....

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

*ld50* · 03-07-2003, 04:27 AM

Is that yours Crankcase?

Woohooo! only 3 more to go!

-wait caught that its for the jeeper friend!

*Brian1* · 03-07-2003, 09:14 PM

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.

*IAmTodd* · 03-07-2003, 09:26 PM

Aw come on, u guys can fit those with a little trimming. You guys give up to easy!

*JoshC* · 03-07-2003, 09:55 PM

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.

Crankcase · 03-08-2003, 03:03 AM

Ha , so others have done the same thing....Makes me not feel wierd..

scramblin · 03-08-2003, 11:17 AM

Here is another one. 35 x 12.5 on a stock height 96' XLT.

XplorMud22 · 03-11-2003, 01:31 PM

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

*Limited Ex* · 03-11-2003, 08:09 PM

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

*TwoToneX* · 03-11-2003, 08:09 PM

Not the best pics, but here's a comparison from when my lift was put on:
