Most stockers ask that same question.."Just how big is a 33X12.50, compared to my stock tire?"

Well, I have the pics...A BFG AT KO 33X12.50 next to my Firestone ATX 235/75/15. Yeah, I said ATX... ;)
For all people wondering just how big these tires are,
the folllowing pics will help you decide..

1: The width....

I wish....It belongs to my Jeeper friend. He just got them.

31 probably would be best for me though

Is that yours Crankcase?

Woohooo! only 3 more to go!

:D

-wait caught that its for the jeeper friend!
 






I have been hanging on to this pic for a while, these are 38.5 tires and my expl with a 2" lift. Figured this is a good place to put it since you have 33's next to your explorer.

Aw come on, u guys can fit those with a little trimming. You guys give up to easy! ;)
 






Here is a 35 up to my 97 with a TT and 31's. I'm not sure why it looks like it's been photoshoped, but it hasn't.

just a lil trimming and u could make that fit:D :D :D :D :D


PEACE
 






Ha , so others have done the same thing....Makes me not feel wierd..:D
 






Here is another one. 35 x 12.5 on a stock height 96' XLT.

You would have to trim to make a 35 fit on a 94 with a 5.5 in suspension lift right?
 






Oh yeah. I have a 4" suspension and a 3" bl and every now and then my 33s rub if I have the wheel turned all the way in one direction and going up an incline. But a 6" Skyjacker should solve that :D
 






Not the best pics, but here's a comparison from when my lift was put on:
