Default 33/11.50/15 or 33/12.50/15

I have a stock 2007 ranger fx4 level 2 I have the stock 31/10.50/15 bfg's on my 7.5 alcoa's right now, now heres what I want to know Ive been looking with nothing coming back on 33/11.50/15 tires of any make maybe someone else would have better luck idk.

2nd question is will 33/12.50/15 fix with no problems at all no rubbing turning ect any help would be great and Id like the tire to be a mud tire or a aggressive a/t.

thanks

33/11.50 is an uncommon tire size. if you're set on the 11.50 width, then look for 32/11.50, which are much more common.

as far as 33/12.50, with a t-bar twist, you'd easily clear the height of them, but the width would likely rub a hair at lock to lock steering.

i have 33 12.50's with knoby mudders they do rub some times but you have to have it cranked all the way to one side and its not too bad then even, although i have a lift so idk if you have anything else that could be in the way..

I HAVE A STOCK 1993 with no lift whatsoever. Im running 33x12.50s on 8 inch rims. the tire itself will fit fine on your rim however your truck is a different story, I dont rub at full lock but at slightly less than full lock, my side lugs grab the fenders at the rear bottom corner in the front. It all rubs bad If I stuff them. But it drives ok for me right now, and I am TTB I dont have torsion bars to lift it 3 inches. You will experience an insanely rougher ride at 3 inch Tbar crank, I would do it past 2 inches.

I have Goodyear Wranglers Duratracs 33x12.5R15's on a a 15x10 with 3.75 back spacing on my 2009 Ford Ranger Sport 4x4 and I had to do some trimming in the front, and crank the t-bar with my pre keys but they fit well.



They rub at full lock and occasionally rub on the flair at certain times, but other then that it's A-Okay!
