Level / Tire size question
I know this has been covered a great deal but I can't seem to find the exact answer I'm looking for.
I'm going to level my 94 with 2" spacers up front. I have a set of 33/12.50/15 tires that I would like to put on the stock rims. Nothing crazy, just want the truck to look a little better than stock. Anyone have experience with this size, and if so, any problems?

What he said. While it is possible, it's just plain stupid. You are asking for terrible tread wear and other problems.
Now if you got the smallest possible size wheel for a 12.5" wide tire, which would be an 8 or 8.5 IIRC, you would be a lot safer and I don't think it would rub much more, depending on the backspacing and whatnot of course.
Side not, strange do you think my 10.5 wide tires would be happier on a wider that 7" wheel

It'll be cheaper (by FAR) to just roll on 32s until the truck wears out. It'll go more places than you think just on stock tires & suspension.

The recommended rims for 31x10.5-15 are 7-9"
For 33x12.50-15 the rim width range is 8.5-11"
For tall tires on stock rims, there are 33x10.5-15 which require 7-9" rims

I'm not going offroading with it. I want to level it and put bigger tires on it only so it has a better looking stance. 95% of my driving is on the streets, only occasionally do I drive in the grass. I don't want to dump a crapload of money into a lift system just to make the truck look better. I know it's not the "proper" way to do it, but realistically, am I really going to have a bunch of problems just from adding 2" to the front, even if I get the bushings and alignment to compensate?
