Will 33" tires fit my 3/4ton 2wd - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BADSAM · 01-11-2008, 11:01 AM

Anybody running 33" tall tires on a 69 3/4ton 2wd truck?

It's actually a Suburban, but I thought more people would see the question here. Tires are 33x12.5-16.5 BF Goodrich Mud terrains.

Thanks

I am running 31x10.5x15 on my 69 2wd 1/2 and that is about all it can handle. You may be able to pull it off on a 3/4ton.

It depends on the width......a narrow 33 might work...but doubtfull!!!

I bought a stock 4x4 72 blazer that had 33x12.50 on it add they rubbed in the turns

Here's some 33x12.5x16.5's on my 2wd 3/4t. Longhorn...no problems at all. 4.75" Back-spacing.

Stllookn, I like that look. I'll check my backspacing.

Thanks everyone.

What size are your wheels? What kind are they? Do you have a side view?

Looks great!

Thanks. My tire deal fell through.

Anyone running anything larger than a 33" tire with stock suspension.
