debating 32's or 33's?

[baff2004]

Still debating what i want do do... ....I want to keep the stock rims...but want some clearance with no problems....now Im thinking 32's would be nice...my x is just a daily driver...and Im kind of on a budget. So improved gas mileage is always a PLUS

go with 32's

IMO, 32s will look like poo with a 3" body, get some rims and do it right if you are gonna do it. If you are hell bent on keeping the stock rims and dont want a 33x10.5 then do the 2"BL and go with 32s. If you have 16" stock rims then get a 3" body and throw on some 285/75s, they will work well and look awesome.

33's and get some rims. Do it right the first time.

A 33x10.5?? would that be or make a big difference between a 33x12.5? And by the way my rims are 15x7's......because I don't want it to look like POO....(of course) I just don't want as many problems like regearing, and the wheelspacing. (On a budget)

do you know what your gearing is now? If its 3.73 with 33's your ok.

 

[baff2004]

yeah my gearing is 3.73 but what about wheelspacing with 33x10.5 with stock rims? would that be ok? I wouldn't want my tire to come off the bead or anything. Keep in my its a daily driver

If you do a 33x10.5 your stock rims will be fine and it will look killer.

I think 10.5 is to skinny for 33's. I had 10.5 before and it looked good, but now with 12, WOW what a difference.

Id go 33's and get new rims. You can actually run your stock rims with them for awhile then get new rims later. There have been a few guys here who have ran that setup and it worked good for them.

exactly what redrig said ^^^^ although i am not quite what you have, it's similar, a 3" BL shackles and a TT will be plently to clear 33's. i had my doubts too but 33's will look much better. as far as gas mileage goes....yes, it will be a tad worse, but i have learned to deal. as far as rims go, i am running stock too...for me it's only temporary, but for those on a budget like you, i have had no problems AT ALL....good luck man!

get 33s, you will kick yourself later if you get 32s, then whine about 33s until the 32s wear out....

 

[white96x]

LOL.....couldn't have said it better

 

[baff2004]

Yeah you guys all changed my mind 33x10.50's sound really nice now. They're not that skinny. One of my buddys has a j**p with them and IMO I think they would look good on my X.

Either or would look nice. You'll save on trimming with the 10.5's but I have to say that with the size of the 33's, 12.5 is a better look. Keep in mind that the tread width is smaller than the tire width and that's what people see. That's purely asthetic though, it doesn't matter much.
