forgot to add its goin on the 67 4x4, and it originally had 16 inch wheels if that means anything

I just put 33X12.5R16.5 on the rear of my truck and they don't rub. A lift is always a great option for a 4X4 though.

you might wanna check clearance on calipers/drums and wheels if you went from 16" to 15", is what i've been told...

well my rims are perfect on there, im just worried about when im turning my tires are going to hit my fenders?

I just put 33x16x12.5 BFG AT's on my 3/4 ton and the passenger side rubs on the front when turning left. I guess I will have to lift it a little bit

I have a 71 K10 with 32 BFG's on Rally's (15X8) with no rub what so ever on a stock suspension except for Rancho shocks. I heard 33's will work also. You should be fine though each truck seems to be slightly different.
