Hello,

I know this has been asked a lot, even by me but now is the time i need new tires for my truck. I want to go with 33's and nothing lower. I have been calling tire shops around my area today and they keep telling me 33's will probably not fit stock. I have a 2005 ranger edge with 16x8 rims and max torsion crank. I also have 1.5" wheel spacers for my front wheels if that makes a difference.. So my question is will 33's fit on my truck the way it currently is? I need to know because i will be buying tires ASAP.

Most of all the tire shops are telling me i need to purchase the tires first and if they don't fit them im out a good amount of money. I would think they would be more helpful but i guess they don't want to tell me they will fit, then have issues.. If anyone could clear this up it would be WONDERFUL

 

If your truck is 4wd yes

 

NO, my truck is not 4wd. How does this apply?

 

It doesnt since you have a edge!

 

ditch the wheel spacers. get 285/75/16s done.

 

WOOOHOOO

So that means i can fit 33's on my truck with most likely minimal rubbing (if so ill trim) ?

 

YOur going to have to crank the bars!

 

I have already cranked my torsion bars basically all the way. I have yet to put on my wheel spacers so I will leave those out for now and most likely sell them. Isn't 285/75/16 a 31"?

 

nope they are like 32.8" or something like that

I have an 06 fx4 with 285/75s and a tbar crank (not fully) and I only rub at full lock turning...you should be alright

 

Well I just looked it up.. It's 32.8 inches so basically a 33 which is good enough for me. Thank you evilclown, best news yet I've heard today!

 

No problem man, thats what were here for!

 

Agreed. My torsion bars aren't even maxed and I clear my 33's fine.

 

Oh and just in case you ever go to a 15" rim, you can clear 33x12.50" tires with minimal rubbing at full lock.

 

Thanks guys so much! Went ahead and purchased the tires, ill have them on tomorrow!

 

285/75R16 will work, might have minimal rubbing though.

 

4x4 trucks are bigger than 2x4 trucks but since you have an edge i guess they have the suspension heights of a 4x4.

 

What did you go with?

 

I ended up going with toyo open county AT 285/75/16 , i thought a i got a really good deal at $800 flat for everything. Getting them installed tomorrow. Will have pics so check back :)

Once again thanks to everyone, i would of ended up going with a 30" tire which i know i would of regretted.

 

Not to rain on your parade but Nitto Terra Grapplers are the same as the Toyo OC's and they cost about $600.

 

HAHA, funny you say that i had no idea. I was going to go with nitto grapplers and the price was set at $785, they couldn't get them in till tuesday which is a problem so they offered me open country's which he said usually run at over a grand, would be $800...

 

Haha well if you were going to pay $785 then I guess it was worth the extra $15 to get them by tomorrow. I ordered my tires off Discount Tire and they were at my door in about 4 days. Paid $615 for them. It would've been $605 but I bought valve stems.

 

Nice I would of purchased online also but I need them really as soon as possible. I thank you for pointing out the terra grappler and open country is the same tire, basically. I would never of known. Even that being the case I bet the Toyo open country is a better tire. Anyways I'm excited

 

You gotta post some pictures.

 

Oh that's the first thing I'll do :)

 

I have a 2001 edge and I put a 3" spindle lift on the front no lift in the back and 33x12.5x15 fit fine.....I had to tri mthe front bumper a little bit because when i turned the wheel they rubbed a little bit...
