tire question?

thebluebuffalo · Jan 20, 2008

can i run 33x12.5 on a 15x8 rim with a RC 4.5 with out rubbing? i'm sure i'll need to cut the fenders right? how about wheel spacers? i'm sure this is a dupe, but i couldn't find anything. thanks.

yes you can, I am, but if you are running with stock wheels then you will need spacers to avoid rubbing. with the 8" wheel it will keep the tire on the bead at low pressure better than a 10".

this is the wheel i'm thinking about
15x8

what about high "street" pressure?

yes those will be good, they will have enough backspacing so that no spacer is required.

will i need to cut my fenders for flexing?

for 33's, yes you will, or you could always bumpstop the heck out of it.

won't that limit your flex?

yeah it will, that's why most guys just trim.
