33/12.50

will that fit on the stock 16" rim?

you will need a 285 75 16

NO.

32x11.50R15 OR 33x10.50R15..... 16" would be 285/75R16. Anything bigger it'll rub the inner fender and possibly grab the valence.



After the bodylift, 33x12.50R15 or somewheres in the size of 295/75R16 or 305/70R16. I don't suggest those sizes on a 7" stock rim, but you can run them with the risk of accelerated tread wear.

will 33x10.5 work on a 16" rim? I want to keep the stock rims cause they are already nice.

Rim diameter isn't going to change what size tire you can run. The width, offset and backspacing will.

On my 00 I ran a 2" t bar crank, and a 3" body lift, and stock shackles (for a while) and ran 35x15r15 swamper TSLs on some aftermarket wheels. I can't remember the specs but gnarley awesome offset. On tight turns I'd rub the lugs against the torsion bars and chassis. But that's because they were 15" wide. 12.5" wide wouldn't be a problem.

You can easily fit 35s with your set up. You might rub on your wheel well near the cab if you're wheelin and flexin the IFS. Your lower valance might be an issue, just rip that shit off. Your inner fenders shouldn't be an issue unless you're jumpin it.

Look for the black stepside about 3/4 of the way down the page. That should give you an idea.

I assumed the OP has fender flares(being he's an edge). The 01+ flares are easier to tag with tires than older models with the mudflaps removed because the 01+ are fatter towards the bottom and roll into the inner fender(even with flaps removed). I ran maxed torsion bars, AAL, 3" bodylift with 80% 35x12.50's on 15x10's with 4" backspace. Was perfect on the street and only rubbed the inner fender at full lock turn. I did not have flares or a valence at the time.....but if I did, that shit would have been ripped off at 3/4 turn. And I was not comfortable wheeling it.

The OP seems typical to those who want a mild lift without any issues of rubbing, I gave him the best advice I could give in regards to a clean, cheap(no regear necessary), smart, no rub setup.



OP, stick to a max of 34x12.50 with the bodylift and shackles. If you want to run your existing rims, they are 7" wide and I wouldn't go anything wider than an 11.50 tire. Go to the tech section at the top of the page to find the metric to standard tire calculator, or go to a tire manufacturer website to get the actual measurements in inches(since virtually all 16" tires are in metric sizes). No trimming of the flares should be needed, but I do suggest rounding out the valence on the rear bottom(closest to the tire).

I have 33x10.5 16's

16x9 inch rims with 3.5in backspacing.
They do rub (on the inside) at full left lock wheeling.
