a 265 measures about 32"......your new 33" tire will be at most 33" tall, probably 1/4"-1/2" less.....you should be fine. i doubt you need a BL. the gears will be fine too.....as for the tires, i'm sure someone makes an 11.50, i've seen 10.50's and of course 12.50's

i just noticed you wanted to get new wheels too, if you find some with proper backspacing, you can keep them from rubbing. also depends on how wide of a tire you get and how wide the wheel is.


are the 265's crammed in there? are they rubbing?

A 285/75/16 is roughly 33X11.5.
