But I do agree, I wish mine stuck out another half an inch or so. All that being said, I'm pretty sure they would rub somewhere without the level. Theres no rubbing, but theres not a whole lot of room in there either
I do have the stock flares for now, so you think the +12 rim will still stick out past them. I think the 33's should fit, its the 12" wide that seems to rub on the CAs. I was thinking 0 offset would keep push them further out?

With the stock flares my tires stuck out roughly half an inch, maybe a bit more. I'll see if I can find a picture with them on but i don't think I have one.

Ok I do have a picture but its on my cell phone and I'm out of town for a week for work. I can either put it on my computer when I get back and post it here or you can send me a private message with your email and i'll send it to you from my phone. Whichever works for you bud.

when you get back you can post, no worries.

so it seems that if they stick out .5" from flare, bushwackers may not work then. I like the pocket style ones and i believe there good for 1.5-2" of coverage. If thats the case they.ll overhang the wheels and thats what i dont like.

so much to decide when upgrading from stock..lol


thanks again

Its a cell phone picture and not the best angle to see how far they stick out but its the only one I have with my stock flares. Hopefully this helps!

thanks Trev - I think the +12 is what im learning towards now. I only want the tires to stick out just a bit, nothing to crazy. thanks for the pictures. I need to post some pics of my truck, since i did a few mods. Weather hasn't been great.
