Ok first off i want a stance exactly like this
Guy said 33x12.5 mickeys with no lift on 15x10 rims.

I like how wide they stick out, but is being that wide going to destroy ball joints and such?? I only go up to the dunes twice, maybe even 3 times a summer, and besides that no offroading for it. And idk for some reason other trucks with 33x12.5 tires with 15x10 rims dont seem to stick out like this one, but im not paying an extra 200 per tire to get a 33x13.5 tire.

How back set or what not do these rims appear to be??? I messaged the guy but he didnt say anything back.



When i compare pic of mine with a pic of his to a pic of mine, wheel clearance seems to be the same as mine with 32s. So i think i will do a zero rate lift all aroun to get that extra inch or so and help with turning. Hopefully ill be able to not need new shocks but idk.

But that is the look i want, nice, classy, stock, but a little beefier.
 
That looks good.

But believe it or not, ive got a 2" rough country lift with Bilstein 5150s and its just enough of a lift so that my 33 x 12.5s dont rub but it still gives a stock appreance. something to think about.

I dont think 12.5s will hurt ball joints and all that, it just depends on that wheels back spacing, etc.
 
But when you say rubbing, like everytime you turn, or only a really sharp turn, cuz i can give up hard turns for the look i want, im not goin 2 trackin where i would be doing alot of fast turns and such. The sand dunes are pretty much nice straight shots as well.

15x10 wont rub unless you had like.. 8 inches of backspacing.

Mine is stock suspension, 3 in. body lift, 35x12.50 on 15x10's with 4.5BS and they have never rubbed unless im turned ALL the way and my tires are tucked.
 
How much back spacing you think those wheels in that pic have??
 
I have the factory fender flares/running boards on my burnt burb. So I'm trying to fill that extra space. The wheels sticking out that far wont hurt anything untill you get to about 75% of the wheel/tire sticking past the hub face. Then you get into issues. But its still not gonna kill bearings every year or anything. I'm thinkin if you do the zerorates, 10" wheels and the 4" spacing youll be ok and happy. The one in the pics is slightly missleading due to the angle it was shot. You can make the rear match the front with 1.5" spacers. I'm not possative on if it will rub or not with 10" rims. I'm doing a 2.5" lift to make sure since I have the flares/running boards. But that is the rim/tire size I'm doing I think.
 
These are what he has

But im thinkin these will be better on the dunes.

Everybody thinks that sand needs super grabby tires, but its totally different than mud or snow, you actually are best with tires that float rather than dig its weird. Wide street tires, or paddles are the best.

We ran 33 12.5 road tires on my dads old burban and they worked great. Its a totally different terrain. But i like it, and fyi TSLs or thornbirds suck on the sand lol. The sidewalls are so thick that when you air them down to 12 psi they dont even go down at all. Everybody has to run like 3 psi to not dig, but then their are alot of tires that come off rims.

Ima get these i think they are sweet, still narley but hopefully they will air down alright.

Yah i know the BFGs have always been my favorite, but i think i want something more mean looking. Idk seems like everybody runs them.
I like to be unique lol, (even though im trying to copy this one guy lol)
 
the tires in that original pic that you are referring to aren't sticking out that far! It's the angle like it's been said already.......15x10 with 4" bs is what you want.:waytogo:
 
Ok lol,will do, then ill just take all my pics from the side lol.

I just wanted to know if sticking them out was death on bearings and ball joints pretty much
 
Dont know if you can get them in 33x12.5x15 or not, but the Nitto dune grapplers sound like the perfect tire for you. Plus they look cool. I've had 3 sets of nitto terra grapplers and loved them. Cant get em in a 15 though:confused: Though i did find 17" ralleys. I may go that route yet.
 
Those claws i posted come in a 33x12.5x15 for $236ea
BUt yah i have looked at those NIttos too, the ones that the treads look like flames, those are sweet.

Man soo many to choose from idk lol. I think this needs to be a decision made after a few too many and my debit card lol. Then i will know what my true subconcious wants haha.
 
I only looked on summit. they may make them in 15". guess I should check elsewhere. I loved them though.
