those are 12.50's?? they look wider than that...

No way in hell you will run a 13.50 on a 12" wide wheel at stock or lowered higth...You need to understand how offset works before you try doing that, on a 99-04 you can run a 20x12 and 33x12.50 with minor trimming along with an add a leaf up front, 08+ you can do it without any mods and 05-07 seem to have the worst rubbing issues...My info comes from first hand experience....add a wider tire to the equation will result in needing more lift.

what about leveled with 20x12's with a -44 offset? i've already done a bunch of trimming....and I ain't skeered to do more.

If you trimmed you're good, bottom of fenders and bottom of bumper is what it hits....I think 13.50s could fit in your case

They are 12.50's on a 12 wide wheel.

I knew you had run the wider setup before and was hoping you would chime in. As I stated in a previous post I expect to do a little trimming of the bumper and fender well, but not a ton.

already trimmed both areas....i could probably fit 15.50's with my hackjob LOL

They are 12.50's on a 12 wide wheel.

33's or 35's?

33's... There are definitely more of the wider sizes in a 35" tall tire than the 33" tires. Plenty of brands to chose from for 33x12.50 that I have seen as well.

33x13.50 is VERY limited. At least in 20" rim diameters.

limited but I REALLY like the looks of that exact setup...

If you were to go with 33s there is a lot less sidewall, and with such a wide wheel those two combined will make you have some crazy bump steer. I have 305/45/22s on a -44 and I have some major sway. Youll never see that amount of sway but it's still something to think about before buying anything. It makes the truck a lot less easy to drive. How does your truck drive as it sits now?

33x15.50 Leveled

20x12s with 33x12.50 Toyo M/Ts

20x12s with 33x12.50 Toyo M/Ts

22x10s with 305/45 Nitto 420s, 1 1/2" spacers

I haul 12k on a bumper pull with no sway, 305/45s....what tire do you have?

6.0dirtworker · Jul 13, 2011

Nitto 420. It just started when I put the wheels on. With stock 18s it was tight. Every little crown on the road sways me. I need to put my the dual stabilizers on.

SouthFlstrokin' · Jul 13, 2011

Have you ever used wider then stock wheels? That's normal ime

6.0dirtworker · Jul 13, 2011

Yeah I had these on 37s and it wouldn't track around like this.

SouthFlstrokin' · Jul 14, 2011

Weird... have you checked your steering components? They might be worn....

do you know your tire pressures?

6.0dirtworker · Jul 14, 2011

I have them at 47, I'll check the components again, its just a coincidence when I put these on.
