33's on a 93 Sport

Will 33x10.5's fit on a 93 Sport with a 4" suspension lift, or do you need the 5.5" lift? What about 33x12.5's?

Also, do you really get 4.5"-5.5" of rear lift out of a SOA (spring-over-axle) conversion?

I've read several posts regarding proper backspacing for different tire sizes, but nothing sounds definate. Maybe experienced folks can put together some charts, such as required lifts and wheel backspacing for specific tire sizes, etc.

Thanks.
 






Just my opinion, but BFG makes a 33x9.50-15 that should fit on a stock 7" rim and I would presume fit nicely with the 4" lift. The wider 33x12.5 is where you get rubbing troubles and wheel offset requirements. Others have stated you need the 5 1/2" to run 33s, some say 4" is fine, and someone is running a thinner metric equivilent to 33" (285x75-16 I think)with no problems. :)
 






Spring over gives you about 6 1/2 lift
