33x12.50 R16?

[michaelallen747]

YEAH I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN LIKE A MILLION THREADS ON THIS TOPIC, BUT I GOT TO ASK ONE MORE TIME!!!

I CURRENTLY RUN 275/75/R16 DUELER AT's...WANTING TO GO A LITTLE BIGGER!

I WANT TO RUN SUPER SWAMPER TRXUS STS's. 33X12.50 IS THE SMALLEST SIZE THEY OFFER FOR R16. HAS ANY ONE RUN THIS SIZE TIRE ON A STOCK TWO DOOR 4X4 TAHOE?

IF SO...HOW BAD IS RUBBING AND GAS MILEAGE?

MY ONLY OTHER OPTION IS SOME OTHER TIRE AT SIZE 285/75/R16..THIS IS ROUGHLY A 33X11.4.... THE STS's WOULD ONLY BE A INCH WIDER AT 12.50...BUT I THINK IT MIGHT BE TOO MUCH?!?!?!?!?!

PLEASE HELP?!??!? THANKS IN ADVANCE GUYS!!!:thumbsup:

Those sts swampers won't balance for sh*t and will rub unless you crank your tbars or buy some 3/4ton bars from a junkyard. I would crank the front, buy some longer shocks, install 2" blocks or aals out back and get yourself some 315's and start trimming.

Thanks for the feedback boostaholic...what u think about 285/75/R16? Do you think they will rub alot?

I like the Mickey Thompson Baja ATS's.

The atz's are a sweet tire, lots of siping so they will get around great in the ice and snow. The 285's should fit with a little trimming or you can crank up the torsion bars, kinda depends on what backspacing wheels you're planning to run.

i used to have a 98 4dr and i added rancho shocks to mine and i could run 285/75/16's with no problem, no rubbing and i didnt have to trim a thing! i went ahead and got the BR Goodrich cause they are pretty much amazing...

I am running the toyo mud terrains 33x12.50R18 only with a 2 in block in the rear and the torsion keys turned up. No Cutting, No rubbing and rides smooth than my damn Nitto Grappler All terrains.
