33x15.50x15 on 12 wide rims

do you think a 33x15.50x15 tire on a 12 wide rim will clear a supercab 4X4 F150 with a 4" lift and 2in coil spacers????

most, if not all 4 inch lifts recommend 33x12.5's so you wont have any problems, hell you can even run 35's with very minor trimming

edit: i just noticed 33x15.5's, i'd say they'll fit... your front outer wheel bearings will hate you for it though... i have to replace mine at least once a year depending on how much i go 'wheeling

yes, even 12.5's rub the rad arms, the 15's you may have to do some minor inner fender trimming so they dont rub

the fenders might if you hit a bump while turning, for the bumoer, all you have to do is space the bumper out about 2 inches... thats what i did cuz i didnt want to cut a brand new bumper, plus it leaves enough space to put a 8k lb winch behind the bumper... when the lift is new, it might not rub but as the springs and everything gets broken in, it may rub. mine started to rub after about 1000 miles (mostly highway)... if it does ru too much you could always put in a body lift

yea but wut if i get 2in coil spacers on top of the 4" lift.. and run 33x15.50x15 on a 12 wide... would they clear after the springs settling???

Edit:nvm goin with a 6in lift... hope that will clear 33x15.50x15 on a 12 wide that has a really wide offset... any input would be appreciated... thank you

The 4 inch lift kit will come with drop brackets made for a 4 inch lift, not 4 inch springs plus a coil spacer. If you want 6 inches of lift, get a 6 inch lift with 6 inch drop brackets.

You will get the Hotwheels car look and they will rub at full turn lock.
