08 Harley Davidson Question

Hi guys, hopefully someone can help me out!

Backstory: I have a 2008 F150 Harley Davidson 4x4. I need new tires, and just ordered a set of the Toyo Open Country MT in 33x12.50R22.

Question: Will they fit OK with the truck at stock ride height? The stock Pirelli tires are 275/45R22, so basically 32x11R22. I know the wheels are 22x9" with 30mm offset (6.2" backspacing).

Really? With no leveling kit? That is great! I was hoping I could avoid lifting if it I could.

I was worried becasue people kept saying that a 2" kit was required for 33x12.50. When I looked in the wheel well there seemed to be plenty of room.

33's will fit without a leveling kit with +30 offset.

I had 305/45/22 which is 32.81" tall and they fit without a leveling kit and there was plenty of room to spare

Ok two people have agree that there wont be issues, so I am going to give them a try then! If they do rub the control Arm I guess the most I will lose is $120 for dismounting them.

idk if i would go with the Toyo's b/c of the large side lugs

i had 35/12.5R20 Toyo Mt's on 20x9 MM951's with 6.18" backspacing 30mm offset, and i could barley fit my finger between the tire/control arm, it would rub when turning at slow speeds and bumps

Really... I guess that is a good point, the Toyo MTs do have pretty large lugs. I could see how they could pose a rubbing problem that other 33x12.50s wouldn't.

Good point.. I guess the only way to know for sure is to try them on and take a ride around the block!

my 325/50/22 (35") A/T rubbed slightly on the control arm when i had them on a +30 offset and the tires are 12.80" wide

the 33x12.50x33 M/T are 12.40 wide, but have the large lugs.. I'm thinking they may rub slightly when turning the wheel at full lock, like U-turns..

But it will look really good on those wheels if you can deal with a possibility of minor rubbing when doing U-turns!

A/T's should work for sure if you decide not to run the M/T's
