33" Tires on a non-lifted F-150???
Yup!!! You read right!
Today, I went in to get my 32x11.50" BFG mud terrains and of course the tires never showed up. Being really disappointed, I wanted to see if the tire place had anything cool in-stock. They had some 32" Super Swamper TSL Radials so I tried those on. Boy was I surprised!!! They looked puny on my truck!!! So I thought, if those are 32's and they're that small, let me take a walk on the wild side and try some 33's. So the guy brought out some Wild Country (They're generic brand of BFG's since they didn't have any BFG's in stock) mud terrains and mounted them on my truck and to my pleasant surprise--- they didn't rub!!! So I drove home with a set of 33x12.50" Wild Country Mud Terrains. They look great, although there's not quite as much clearance as I'd like there to be (I mean, what do you expect?), but they don't rub unless I completely crank it, and they sure as hell look a lot better than my old garbabe 31" all-terrains!!!

1990 F-150 4x4 XLT Lariat
Newly rebuilt 302, with Crane Cam CompuCam
4.10 gears with rear lim. slip
Short bed, regular cab
Eibach leveling kit
Gibson shorty headers
K&N FIPK
Flowmaster "40 Series" muffler with dual chrome tips
Delta diamond plated toolbox
Alpine cd player
Middle of the road amp, tweeters and loudspeakers
33x12.50" mud tires with 15x8" rims (don't ask me how they fit! Must be the leveling kit!)
Gray Ford trailer hitch cover
Up next:
Paint job, Line-X spray-on bedliner, diamond plated bed rails, high-flow cats., MTX amp and sub, Infiniti speakers, tweeters, Superchip, MSD ignition system, and decals. That's all for this coming year. More to follow when I get some real cash.

what size tires
I have a 96 f150 with 31x10.5 radial stt's, but im putting a two inch leveling kit on the front end and want to run 33x12.5 bfg a/t's, but they will hit the front bumper when i turn, do you have any suggestions on another tire size that would fill up the fender wells and turn without hitting the bumper, or what i can do to run the 33's...........
