33's on 15x8 voids warranty
Spoke with Michael from Tire buyer a seller on eBay. I'm looking at the 33 x 12.5 by 15 the minimum rim width is 8.5". I know a lot of you guys have them on your 15 by 8 but he said if it's not 8.5 it would void the warranty, any of you guys have experience with that.

Re: 33's on 15x8 voids warranty
That would be specific to the maker of the tire, and the dealer's whims. You can only get an answer by maker (they have web sites).

Re: 33's on 15x8 voids warranty
Yeah I checked the Cooper website it's kind of vague. I might just go with the 32s to avoid any hassles, won't look much different. Saw a not lifted 71 today with 31's and it looks pretty good. My truck has what looks like a three and a half inch lift if I measure the back block. I think the 32s by 11.5 will look okay.

I've had 10+ different brands of 33x12.50 on an 8" rim in my jeep days and beat the living crap out of them and never had an issue.

Re: 33's on 15x8 voids warranty
check the full specs and you see the approved rim width by the mfg...
im sure half inch would be fine but could be a warranty concern if questioned...

Re: 33's on 15x8 voids warranty
Thanks for the info. I've never had a claim with a tire company in over 40 years driving so probably wouldn't come up but for 1" difference, better to be compliant.
