33 x 12.50 on the Fabtech 5.5?

[MotoXRanger27]

Ive been looking around but I was wondering if anyone has some 33x12.50's on a fabtech 5.5 lift? Im in a toss up between buying the Fabtech or the Camburg kit but I really wanna go 33". The Camburg kit is made for 33's but the Fabtech kit says it recommends 32x11.50 or smaller. Anybody done this? Any problems with rubbing? Pic would be great. thanks!

you can use the 33s on either kit, just stick with the recommended backspacing on the rims (3.75") the reason fabtech recommends this is due to up travel and rubbing of tires while jumping or offroading, but yes it is safe to run the 33s with them ive seen it done and done it

Fordboi,

on your Cardomain the pics are with the old 31's? 10.5 or 12.5? i remember reading somewhere you're running a 1/2 inch wheel spacer. what brand? the ones ive come across dont recommend installing them on the front wheels.

Go on jegs and find the slip-on wheel spacers from cragar, I've been using them for some time now, just make sure you use lots of red locktite and keep an eye on them they were 50 bucks for all 4, as soon as I find my camera ill post a pic 4 ya

awesome, what about the width of your old 31's?

 

[fordboi415]

10.50 same as my 33s

5" lift you can fit up to 35's I thought?

If your pavement pounding then its possible but if your suspension does any traveling they will rub with anything less than 6" of lift and a tad bit of trimming
