Thats the exact look I want for my burnt burb too. already started pricing parts.
Found Mickey 33x12.5r15s Baja Claw Radials $236ea on their web sight. They are actually 12.9" wide, idk if that plus wheel spacers will work to stick them out enough though lol. Those ones look like they stick out alot more but maybe rims would help with that too.
10 in rims would make your tires stick out more for sure if thats the look your after. Even 8 in rims would make the tires stick out a little bit more. Your stock rims are 15x7.
Cool, so hopefully 10x15 rims on those 33 12.5s and itl have that look.

If you look at my Burb, I have 15x10s with 33x12.50s on it. Depends on the backspacing of the wheel too! Mine is either 4" bs or 4.5" bs.....I forget

I'll go take one with the wheels straight for you!
You can see they just stick out from the sides.......and according to my receipt that I got with the wheels, they are 4" BS US Wheel 26

Ok cool, yah im thinkin as much as i can stick em out the better it will look, just dont want too much where its going to destroy ball joints and bearings and such.
What about gettin the rear out more?? Spacers?? or bad news? I hate how the rear axle is so much shorter, its so ugly

Thanks!! Looks sweet! What do you think about the spacers and such, and how much sticking out is going to start breaking ball joints, and bearings and such??

I think you should start another thread asking that question! That way we can keep this thread mostly about the pictures.....
Personally I don't think an inch or two is going to hurt if you're just "Mall Cruising"......too much sticking out and you're going to be hitting the fenders when you flex anyways!

Looks like you should have trimmed the fenders a little. 
As long as you keep it on the street and don't flex it out...

Holy tire scrub, Batman! Good thing you only drive it in the yard that way.

That's a beautiful rig.
Agreed 100%
I really need to get a nice coat of gloss black on mine and it will look very close to that.
