Hey all, 1st post.
I've been on the hunt for some used 32's for my 15" rally wheels but they are few and far between. I keep seeing 33's but not sure if they're too much for stock set up? I don't plan on wheelin'. What do you think?
Thanks James
 
33's are fine for the most part on a stock rig but its up to the sag in your springs or the backspacing and width of your rim also. On stock rally wheels i had 35" bfg mud terrains on with a slight rear fender hack but without the sway bar it did like to rub while flexing. 33's sound fine anything bigger and you'd want to think about re gearing also.
 
get some new 32's - no issues with buying out of round, unbalanceable used tires, and you don't have to worry about rubbing.
 
I've been running 33x12.50x15 BFG all terrains on 15x7 steel wheels w/no lift .....just a slight rub sometimes while i'm turning and i hit a bump at the same time but nothing to be concerned about or cause any damage...I can't wait to get a lift tho ....

I buy used tires a lot and never had a problem. Maybe lucky?

I keep seeing smoking deals on wheel and tire combo's on CL, but it's usually the newer style wheels with like 6 inch backspacing. Would they even fit? Probably more likely to rub?
 
Forget aftermarket wheels. The backspacing change hurts.

If you can find 33x10.5R15's, they should fit on stock wheels, without rubbing. Vehicles vary, but I have yet to hear of anyone that has a problem with them hitting, myself included.
 
If you are worried about them hitting and dont want to lift a whole lot then just get a zero rate for all 4 corners then you should have no issues with rubbing
 
I've run numerous sets of 33's on factory 15x8 rallies with no issues..Switched to 15x10's and it was a different story!!
