If you don't rub at all check your tbars,make sure they aren't cranked too far because that will cause front end issues. My brother inlaw has 33x12.50s with a decent off set and torsion crank and he rubs. I rub too but that's a different situation lol

Yeah I had 305/70s under my leveling kit and rubbed some. I also had to trim the in re lip of the bumper cuz I have my offset and then put 1.25" wheel adapters on so I had to b careful in the back....that's why I just said screw it and got my lift and put the tires on that I wanted originally. When I turned my modified torsion keys down so my front end would stop vibrating when I was turning right and hit a bump, my 305s would rub like crazy

Ouch yeah it's not recommended to go over 33" tires on factory wheels because of the back spacing...you need that offset. Most tire places won't put big tires on factory wheels like that and definitely won't put them on unless you have a lift

I have 7.5" of lift so I'm good there. I'm getting some 18" wheels and 38s when these tires are done

Sounds good man...I would love to get 37s when I go to 20" wheels...I want to get the 20x10 fuel deep lip hostages with -24 offset...they make them in 20x12 w/ -44 offset but they will be sticking way out past my fenders and don't want flares

Are your rims an older model? I went to the fuel web site and only found a different design for the fuel throttle wheels. I like those and would like to get some 20s on 33s in a few months.

For every -12 offset your sticking out a half an inch. So at -24 you will get an inch sticking out. But you also have to take in account the width of your wheel. So for example when I went from my 17x7.5" factory wheel to 17x9" helo more of the 1.5" wider width goes on the outside so I gained almost an inch more offset. The wider the wheel and more offset the more your sticking out. This is what I looked up when I was getting custom wheels
