Re: 33.12 whats the correct rim with 8 or 10
I ran 33x12.5 15's for years on may different trucks 8"s and 10"s. Any tire larger than stock will increase wear rate on many parts and cost you mpg.
33 on a 16" will look smaller than on a 15" because you are losing side wall height to gain rim size. Also 33x12.5 on a 10" wide rim will not have much sidewall bubble, and if you air down off road you will have a better chance of losing a bead or wheel lip damage. 35" is when I would start to look at ratio's. on your truck I would go 15x10 and 33x12.5's it would look nice. I think that 16" would be like a 305/65/16 on a 16x10, and they look skinny beside the 15x10's just my 2c.

Re: 33.12 whats the correct rim with 8 or 10
I have 15x10 8 bolt rims on two of my trucks,the 82 & 86. You have to grind the caliper a bit,but it can be made to fit.

I have drums on the rears,the 82 had to grind the fins some.The 86 has a full floater & they fit no problem.
