How wide of a tire tire can I fit on my 08 Y-spokes? I'm also getting my torsion keys installed along with 2" blocks for the rear springs next week. From what I've read I should be able to run 33's with this set up, does that sound right? Thanks!

are they 15s or 16s? i believe both factory wheels are 7'' wide and its not recommended to run wider than a 265 or a 10.50' on a 7' wheel. if you go to an 8' wheel you should be able to run like a 305/70/16 or 33x12.50x15 no problem. if you have 16s you could probably get by with a 285/75/16 (33") on the factory wheels, they would be a little wide though.

16's.

Do you think I would need wheel spacers?

im pretty sure you wouldnt, the only time you really need those is you have the wrong offset wheel (if it is a high positive offset it will stick in).

A wider than stock tire will stick in further than a stock tire on the same rim.

Both sides, the tire is wider so more sticks out over the sides of the rim. But if it is enough to rub I don't know.

im guessing the stock size is a 245/75/16? if so that is about a 9.5'' wide tire and a 285 is about an 11.5'' wide tire so it will stick in (and out) about an inch farther so you could have a buddy turn your steering wheel while you check to see if it looks like you have an extra inch? just my 2 cents
