tire size

i was planning on getting 32s but then i was thinkin if im gonna do a superlift later on why buy 32s and just get 33s (33x12.5). so my question is can i fit 33s with t-bars maxed(class 1), AAl and a 1 in. bodylift?
and if you have pics that would be great
thanks jordan

You can fit 33's stock man. But you might have minor rubbing, especially when turning. But the people that are actually running that setup would know more about it than me.

I think you'll be fine running 33x12.50s w/ a 1" bl, cranked bars, and aal. I believe the whole stock running 33x12.50s...depends on wheel backspace. could be wrong though. I think you'll be fine.

Yea, it'll look stuffed. 3.75bs is what i'm running with the 32s. It'll likely rub the inner fender at the rear of the wheelwell, while turning.

Dont ditch the 1" idea. If you wheel it, i'd advise against the 33x12.50, unless you plan on lifting it more. Yes they will fit....but at full turn, they'll rub. For the street, i think 33x12.50 w/ 1" body, crank, aal would be fine. But off road...tires move weird ways when the suspension is going through it's travel.

AAL, crank bars, and 32s do look good. I believe that's Trigger's set up. But just don't forget that extra 1" for additional clearence.....i cranked my bars, put on the 32s, wheeled it hard, messed up my fender, messed up a tire, ripped off 3 flares. Thus bringing in the "big one inch".
