Tire Size Questions

I pick up a set of wheels of craigslist yesterday. There 15x10 american racing outlaws. Well they came with tires the tires are 33x13.50 i was wondering with a bodylift would i be able to run that size or would i rub. i just need to run them a few weeks till i can afford a set of tires. Thanks guys

You're good man. Very minimal rubbing on your valence and possible front flare....of course, all that is cured by a slight torsion crank and you should trim that valence anyhow. It may not rub at all...all depends on that wheel backspace.

Be advised: If the valence is not trimmed a little bit, you do run the risk of ripping the valence out of it's 'snaps' while turning and in reverse at the same time. And fixing that is quite ugly.

you really dont have to cut much on the valance. make sure u dont have mud flaps or hangers on either. it gives it a wicked stance in my opinion that is.
