33's with no lift? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just got some 33's for my 69 shortbed 4x4 and I was wondering how the tires would clear with no lift or if ill have 2 lift

msgross · 03-04-2010, 11:47 PM

how wide? what rims? Are you gonna wheel it hard or road use?

I have 33x10.5x15 with no lift here, but my K-10 had HD springs... I added a leaf in the rear and 1" longer shackles in the front... Only real issue is rubbing in the front when you turn.. and flex a lot... you could also add a zero-rate-leaf if you need an inch..

MY 33's clear with very little rubbing to no rubbing. I didn't feel or hear anything and it was flexed, a vid for ref.

My rims are about 12in wide, and the tires are 12.50s I belive. I will be putting 35/15.50/15 this and I can measure the rim's sunday If you really want me too.

yeah if you would that would be cool

Ryan, you will want a rim around 8" wide. If you have 285/75/16 for tires, they are close to 33" x 11.50 x 16. Those are the same size tires I run on my Rubicon. I think you would benefit by adding a 2 1/2" lift with those tires. Trevor

Board member knsmodels has a '72 with 33X12.5X15 and no lift on his. I just talked via PM with him about it. His is the green truck pictured. I put the same size on my '71 but it has about a 1 1/2" block lift front and rear. I have a Tuff Country 2" front and rear spring lift sitting in my garage waiting to go on. . . waiting for the snow to melt and get some warm days though. I put the wheels/tires on and drove it around without a rub. Its the red one.
