? about alcoas

I am wondering what tire size I should put on the stiock alcoas on my 04 level II. I have cranked the tbar and going to be putting a body lift on when i purchase the tires. What should I put on them? Also would like to see different sizes on the wheels. So if anyone has any pics it would be great.

33x12.5R15 will rub on the sway bar at full lock and taking corners pretty hard. Some have done a 33x10.5R15 with no rubbing but they are a little skinny for my liking.

Pic of my truck with alcoas, 33x12.5R15 no body lift.

Oh nevermind my post I thought it was unsafe to run a 12.5 on a 7.5 rim.

They will rub on the sway bar if you run factory Alcoas.

What about spacers?

This thread has nothing to do with me, but I thought I would put my 2 cents anyway.
