Tire size is not exact... a 33" tire is actually 32.8".

well i was looking at getting new rims and tires but i was going to switch to 15 inch rims but then i seen a picture of stock rims like mine with some good meat wrapped around them so now my biggest question is if i do a 3in BL can i fit 285/75/16? and my Tbars are turned so the truck sits level

wtf... with body lift you want 305x70x16 ...

you cant put a 16" tire on a 15" rim if you want 15" rims just get 33x12.5x15
