Has anyone tried the new mickey baja belted radial mtz? And would 375/50/18 (33x15.5x18) fit with a daystar leveling kit? And what back spacing would be required. I think it would look sweet!

They look good but I havn't talked to anyone with a set or read any reviews on them. Also, I don't think you will ever fit a 35 inch tire that wide with only a leveling kit.

That'd be way too wide IMO but pretty badass if it worked!

Gotta have 17 or larger wheels to fit the new, larger disc brakes, so you can't do 15s

I do believe MB Motoring also makes an 18" x 10" with the correct backspacing just for these tires.

i had Mickey T MTX 33' 12.5 17 tires when i first got the truck they are very good tires! very well in the sand a mud. They were nice and quiet too, my biggest concern. Now i have 35 12.5 17 **** Cepek FC-II. another decently quite tire. they would fit if you werent going with a 15.5 wide i dont think that would even work on my 6 inch lift. On the back spacing i would think 3-4.5 inchs

I was also looking to possibly order these tires next month. But I am kinda afraid about the front tires rubbing on the fender wells. Keep us posted if you get these(or anyone else) and let us know if they rub with only the leveling kit.

Even if they did fit, I think they would look really bad because of their width. It would look out of proportion for how wide they are compared to their height. IMO.

Got Nitto 325-60-18 on my FX4. They are about 12.8 wide and they come within 1/2" of touching the front sway bar at full turn. I don't see how anyone could get a 15" wide tire to fit w/o major mods.

I think you are right on that one, i'm not even gonna try it. I think I'm gonna go with the Mickey Thompson ATZ 325x60R18. I'll get those on order soon as I decide with rims to get. Thanks for your input.
