Are 33" muds going to fit my stock rims?

Sorry, this is a repost but I didn't get the answer I needed from the other section I posted it so I'm reposting it here where there's more traffic. I just bought one Toyo M/T 33x12.50R18 tire from the dealership for $300 and I wondering if they're going to fit my stock rims. Anyone know if they are going to fit fine, will they rub? Is a M/T overkill for my 2wd, I just really like they way M/T's look on F-150. Yes, I bought one, then in two weeks I'm going to buy another one and get the rest on credit.

I think they would make your truck look good.

As far as fitment... I wouldn't know... I'm not a tire expert.

yes they fit, many people here run that exact combo, you will need a leveling kit, be it the ever popular and very tried and true autospring spacer, bilstein leveling struts, rancho quicklift struts... 2" - 2.5"

however 2.5" up in the front will level you out IF you were a 4x4, im not positive if it does the same for 2wd.... im sure the front sits lower regardless of drivetrain... so you will be level im thinking

It's leveled, got it at the dealership. As for brand I have no idea what brand they are but they do have white letters on them spacers saying "ar".

I was wondering what you use to shine up your chrome. I use Meguire's hot rims and I don't see that big of a difference.

MEGUIARS Hot Rims Mag & Aluminum Polish, I have no idea if thats safe to use on chrome rims but it gives off one hell of shine that can't be beat.

Absolutely safe and 100-percent agree!

I just did my chrome MM's this past weekend and they came up amazing!

I took pics but cannot find the damn camera. I'll post pics as soon as I do.

I don't have chrome bumpers so I have NFC.... but I don't see why you couldn't.

I did my chrome tips too and, while they really weren't that bad, they came up noticeably better.

This stuff is the shizzle!

Yes, 33's will fit on the stock rims. If you have a leveling kit, the tires will not rub. I'm currently 33" Nitto's on the stock FX4 rims. Just keep your tires balanced and rotated and they will be fine.
