I'm coordinating a lift along with this recall thing and am looking to jump to 33x10.5 BFGs. While looking at a tire sight a grid recommended an 8in rim for any 10.5 width. I think my stock rims, which I was going to keep on, are only 7-7.5in. So will the big meats fit on a stock rim? I could back down to 9.5 tires, but I say bigger is better. Any experience out there. Thanks.
 






Tekeman,
33X10.5 r15's will fit on your stock rims just fine, infact I have seen people with 33X12.5's on 15X7 rims. I run 31x10.5 r15 BFG's on the stock 15X7 rims.
 






Thanks Ray. Looks like I'll save some $$. Well, it'll just be spent on another modification.
 






Tekeman,
With the money you saved on the rims, you could buy some OME springs and Nitro Charger shocks. :)
