Getting 33 12.50 17 mud grapplers on my 2003 fx4 supercab and I'm going to level out the front with the back.. Will 33 12.50 17 mud grapplers fit ok without any rubbing after level?

 

I know 33s will be fine but I was wondering about the width basically

 

Well if i'm right 12.50 width is like a 315mm tire, and as far as I know a leveled 4X4 for our year can only clear 305s, maybe even only 285. I've lifted and leveled my 4X2 to the same level as the 4X4s and I know I can fit 285s but after that width becomes an issue.
I could be wrong or misremembering though.

 

i have to agree. a 12.5 mud grappler is going to be pretty beefy and will hit the sway bar and valance. what rims are you putting them on? whats the backspacing?

 

im guessing stock wheel with it being a 33x12.50r17

You can clear 35x12.50's on a leveled 4x4, so you should be good. The only thing is that mud grapplers have very large side lugs, so you will probably get some slight rubbing on the corner of the valance and the sway bar at full turns.

 

im using my stock fx4 wheels..

 

What Buxton said, you may have some minor rubbing because of how aggressive the tire is but otherwise you'll be okay.

 

i was just skeptical on the 12.5 inch tire on the 7 inch rim. But DHGFX4 is doing it just fine. but yeah, when the sidewall hits the sway bar it may feel a little bumpy because of the wall tread.

im interested in seeing how they look once mounted though. post pics after.

 

I definetly will.. I should only have rubbing at full lock though right?

 

On stock rims you should be alright, I'm running 33x12.50 Nitto Terra Grapplers on 16x10's and with the truck leveled and i had to trim the valance just a little bit
