so guys i have a tire question

[hankpyles]

i have a 93 xlt and its got a 3in body lift i put on the summer, i switched over to 31in tires and now have plans to put 33x12.50 on my stock rims any ideas off hand if that will be a issue or not, if they will fit fine? i have a good amount of space but i wanna be shure and how much is that actually gonna lift me?

here a pic as well

Umm 33x12.5s on a stock rim is not advisable. The stock rim is only 7" wide. Ideally a 8" wide rim would be better. For 33s, you'll probably need to run a 4" suspension lift but since you already have a 3" body you can probably go with 1-2" of suspension lift.

i was advised this rim would be fine,but i have other rim options either way! but my main concern is clearence issue, i have 7in from fender to tire on top and 3 1/2in on left and right side.

i am ordering these offline is why im concerened i dont wanna pay for tires i can use

With only a 3" body lift you defiantely won't clear.. There are plenty of rigs out there that run 33s on a combo of body lift & suspension lift. On my signature the 2nd link down contains a tire fitment guide.

just install some shackles or an add a leaf in the rear, and some coil blocks and drops on the other end of the traction beams, or something of that sort in the front, and you'll clear 33's easily.

For 33x12.5 tires you need 8" rims, as already said. And on average, in total a 4" lift is needed to clear them. Some people say with just 4" of total lift they still needed to trim a bit but others say it clears fine.

If you want, look at my registry (in my signature). I plan on doing a 2" lift for over winter but maybe that is the solution you want as well to get the extra height. Doing that lift on top of your 3" body lift should be enough for 33s.

well it has a shackle kit on it, as well as new shocks i guess ill look into a lift kit possibly

With a 3 inch body lift, 1 inch worth of washers under my coil seats, and an add a leaf on the rear, 33"x10.50 bfg all terrain on 15"x7 stock rims was about as big as I could go with out trimming anything. When flexing and turning the wheel, my tire would come so close to rubbing. 33"x12.50's will most likely require fender trimming for you
