33-10.5 tires with a tt and shackels

[moose1]

Can I fit these on my 99 explorer with the fac. rims, 15x8?? I just purchased a set of 33-10.5 bfg mt's and want to put them on before I put my bl. All i have noew is the tt and shackels

i have 2 inches tt and 3 inches from spindles...i had to do trimming with 31x10.5...minor, but still had to cut...i think yous will rub when fully cranked and def. when you flex it out...i have a 15x8 rim as well...i also have swampers so they measure bigger...you could probally last untill the body lift...just crank those t-bars way up there

You should be good with your factory 15x7s.

Sec. I will be good running the 33's with just the tt and shackels. do you think ill have to cut anything, other that the lower part of the bumper?

 

[section525]

Since they're only 10.5" wide it should be doable. You're not wheelin or anything between now and then. So my guess is you only have to trim the bumper part you're talking about, and maybe the inside of the rear fender.

 

[dirtbro]

do you have rockers on there cause that is where i had to do most of my trimming?

31 x10.50's fit fit without rubbing on my 91 exploder..

mines a 1st gen but i ran 33x12.50s with a 3" body lift and it only rubbed the sway bar

my old explorer i had tt+aal+war shackle and fit 33s with trimming inner fender well and very slight rubbing. BoominX can vouch for me hes seen it.

Plus 33x10.50s is a whole different beast than any other tire. Except maybe... wait.. yeah... it is.

Why is that.

 

[section525]

I was drinking a lot of beer last night.


I mean that a 33x10 will fit on trucks that a 33x12 will not. Most rubbing occurs while turning. Being only 10.5 inches will allow for more forgiveness from the fenders.

Any possibility that you could do a 33x9.5 on stock rims? Without planning on doing a BL anytime soon. With TT/Shackles/AAL. (MAX TT)

Not a whole lot of people talk about the 9.5s...

BTW, it would be 95% street driving.

 

[1996explorer4x4]

yes you can run 33x12.50s with tt and shackles and aal with miner trimming.
