Default too much tire?

I never thought i would ask if tires were too big but are 33s too big for my F150. I dont mind being that that guy doing a three point turn on my street because they rub the radius arms. Because that is going to happen no matter what. So are 33s too big? will they rub terribly in some places of force me to alter the fenders?

Not unless your springs are sagging bad. You might have to shim out the bumper for clearance.

So, you can fit 33's on stock suspension without too much of a hassle?

If it's a 4x4, you shouldn't have an issue, 2wd means you'd have to level the front

Also, be careful b/c if your wheel offset isn't wide enough, the tires will rub on your radius arms, happened to me with 33x10.5 T/A, and an 15x7.5 rim

I'm running 33x12.50s on 15x10 rims, and I've never had my tires rub at full turn.

^ same here, and I haven't either. But that's because my rims have the right offset and stick out from the truck a bit.

What kind of tires do you have 1996 redneck and biggreybow? i am not sure where to go with my tires. And on my '93 are my wheels going to be 15x10. Or does it just depend on the truck?
