Got 33x12.50 bf's allterrian from friend and don't have enough money to buy any rims right now. will those tires fit just for a little while. aren't the stock rims 8 inch wide? thanks for the help.
 






Stock rims are 7". The tires will fit on the rims just fine. The real question is will the tires fit under your truck? As long as you have some sort of lift, you can run the tires without problems. I ran that size on 7" rims for years before going to an 8" rim. Its not the ideal width, so keep an eye on the tread wear evenness, and adjust your air pressure accordingly.
 






do not go any smaller than a 10 " wheel. for starters, your tires will look like bubbles and can wear funny if you don't watch your air pressure if you use your stock wheels or even an 8" wheel. you never want your wheel with to any smaller than 2" of the tread width as a general rule of thumb. width such a narrow wheel your also going to be proned to a LOT more rubbing. just get yourself a set of chrome american racing wheels or black rock crawlers if you prefer for $200 and save yourself the regret.
