33's without lift

I was wanting to put 33's on my f150 but wasn't wanting to lift the truck. I was wondering if anybody has any pics of their truck with the 33's and no lift. Thinking about going with the BF Goodrich mud tires on 17X9 wheel.

Here is a picture of my 2000 flareside with Goodyear 305/70/17 MT/R's without a lift. In fact the tires fit perfectly without any rubbing or modifications. Awesome looking tire and the size is great.

My gallery has many more tire pics.

Yes they'll fit fine. I had the Thornbird 33 X 11.50 X 16 and had no problems

Those tires look great. You haven't had ANY problems with them have you??? I just don't want to spend the money and then they don't fit right.

THanks!!!!

I have had the Goodyear ATS 305/70-16's on my truck, and now have BF Goodrich 305/70-16 AT-KO's on it. Neither rubbed a bit.

285's

I have 285/75 R16 General Courser AT's on my stock F150. I like them because if I do some off roading they don't rub, and yet they are bigger then stock so they look good.

That's my story!

Arthurvan , that is an awesome ride ! I was wondering what the back space is on your 16x10 wheels. I'm going with 17x9 but don't want the wheels sticking way out.

Thanks Sam, The backspace is 4-5/8 which is pretty much stock. That would put you in an inch less than mine are in the pics.

Cheers,

What are you doing for a spare?

Fellas;

What are you doing for your spare? I'm hearing that a 305 won't go under the bed.

I'm about ready to spring for five 305 GY Wrangler MT/R's with a 34 overall diameter and 11.50 section width. The local shop is telling me that the 5th won't go underneath.

I'm pretty sure using a 265 would not work well on the differential in the case of a blowout with a 305 on the other end.

Just wondering what folks are doing when running larger tires.

Thanks for any information.
