33x12.50 tires

Hey all, I was wondering if I will be able to fit 33x12.50 tires on my 98 f150 off road without a lift and without the tires rubbing. I hope someone can tell me this because I have been asking around and different places say different things. Thanks

Yes, a 33x12.50-16 (305/70-16) will fit with slight trimming on a 16x10 wheel.

You are probably going to have to trim the front bumper's lower plastic valance. It's the plastic piece below the chrome bumper. I had to trim about a 1/4 or 1/2 inch off the lower corner, closest to the tire. It took about 10 minutes with a sharp pocket knife. Take your time, don't trim off more than needed, make a smooth cut and no one will ever notice.
