I am lifting my 92 Ranger 6" and going with a BFG 33" M/T...... I also have bushwacker extend-a-flares.

I would like to stay with an 8" wheels..... and I dont want the tires hanging out and throwing dirt/sand all down the side of the truck.....

would I be better off going with the 33 x 10.5 x15s?? will these look ok or will they look to narrow.....

or will the 33 x 12.5 x 15's fit under the truck fine?? and not hang out???

I would love the tires to just be flush with the fenders....

anyone have the 33 x 10.5 x 15's??

thanks
 






I would go with the 12.5. Especially if you have the extended flares. 10.5 would look to small. Plus if your wheels are wider the tires will help keep your side panels looking like new. Your tires will hit the rocks etc. before the side of your car!
 






it depends on your backspacing but it is likely that the 12.5s will extend out and kick up some crap. Might not with the flares though. Look for some picks b/c 33x12.5s look much cooler

I say go with the 12.50s. If they throw up a bit more mud and stuff, just get a hose :)

With 6" of lift, you want as much width as possible to keep stability.
