if you have the torsion bars tightened (which i think you already did that but i cant remember) itll fit 33s. just be sure to get s kinda small BS so they dont rub the frame

I just bought these Courser C/T tires & these rims ..I took time & reviewed them prior to , & chose them because of the aggressive tread & cost...The manager of Monroe is a friend of mine , & says they only use these & the Firestone Destination M/Ts in the gas patch around here due to majorly inclimate terrain lol . Hope this helps ! My future plans are installing tinted roof lights & perhaps some custom lighting ( hard to find lights with man'f date being 3/96 )

I have had Nitto terra grapplers and Goodyear wrangler at/s...I didn't get good mileage out of either ones...I currently am running Wild Country xtx...I like the ride, tread design, and construction...I will let you know about the wear...
