Yes, you can fit 33's!
I'll go back, to have the biggest, baddest, smokiest, tire squealin, award winning, burnout ever! Pulling out of the parking lot with my possi in the bed and Track Lock rear end making all the chickys holler! And looking rather amazing while I'm doing it! Whoooooo! Lmao

No, it dropped because you took the time to post something that was intended to make OP feel stupid and deep down you know only a individual with a very low IQ would do something like that.
Some come to forums like this to learn and teach something, others come to forums because they need to s**t on others to feel a little extra special.
Its very simple to tell one from the other.

im lost now, i thought a posi(limited slip) wouldnt allow for a burnout due to the nature that the wheel that is slipping will receive less power while the one that has more traction on the ground would recevie more. I would think a non-limited slip(open) would be better for burnouts.

Back to the OP
The open differential always applies the same amount of torque to each wheel. There are two factors that determine how much torque can be applied to the wheels: equipment and traction. In dry conditions, when there is plenty of traction, the amount of torque applied to the wheels is limited by the engine and gearing; in a low traction situation, such as when driving on ice, the amount of torque is limited to the greatest amount that will not cause a wheel to slip under those conditions. So, even though a car may be able to produce more torque, there needs to be enough traction to transmit that torque to the ground. If you give the car more gas after the wheels start to slip, the wheels will just spin faster.
On Thin Ice
If you've ever driven on ice, you may know of a trick that makes acceleration easier: If you start out in second gear, or even third gear, instead of first, because of the gearing in the transmission you will have less torque available to the wheels. This will make it easier to accelerate without spinning the wheels.
Now what happens if one of the drive wheels has good traction, and the other one is on ice? This is where the problem with open differentials comes in.
Remember that the open differential always applies the same torque to both wheels, and the maximum amount of torque is limited to the greatest amount that will not make the wheels slip. It doesn't take much torque to make a tire slip on ice. And when the wheel with good traction is only getting the very small amount of torque that can be applied to the wheel with less traction, your car isn't going to move very much.
Off Road
Another time open differentials might get you into trouble is when you are driving off-road. If you have a four-wheel drive truck, or an SUV, with an open differential on both the front and the back, you could get stuck. Now, remember -- as we mentioned on the previous page, the open differential always applies the same torque to both wheels. If one of the front tires and one of the back tires comes off the ground, they will just spin helplessly in the air, and you won't be able to move at all.
