33's on a stock 1992 4x4?
 

Hi, all...

Researching my next tire purchase and I'd like to try a slightly larger tire (more clearance and better highway mileage). I've got a stock 1992 F-150 4x4 with 3.55 gears. Can I fit 33" tires on there without much hartburn? Any rubbing issues? I don't tow anything, and I don't haul anything, except a passenger and maybe some camping gear.

Thanks mucho.

I've only heard of 32's being the largest on the stock height 4x4 w/out any problems.

Nice looking truck ya got there

yes with tires that big you will rub against the radias arms i have 32/12.50`s on mine and if i turn really hard and press on the gas i rub just very slightly

I agree...mostly
I've got 31-10.50s, they come close to the radiaus arms when the wheels are cranked all the way.

Super swamper radial and bfg (hard to find) make 33-10.50s, I believe they will fit nicely. Pro-Comp used to advertise these to, haven't seen them for awhile.

In my case 33-10.50s are a nice snow tire(narrow for penetration). So I might get them next time I need tires. We get alot of snow.

The extended radias arms will allow for much bigger tires because they have a bend in them, yet articulation is improved.

Thanks, guys. Sounds like I'll stick with what I've got, 31x10.5, as the 32's I've looked at are only 1/2" larger than the 31's.

If you ask a tire store, 31x10.50 is the biggest they say will fit. Like others have said, i've heard 32's will rub slightly but not enough to cause problems since it doesnt rub all the time. I have 31's because I drive 20k a year so anything bigger would get more expensive . You can get 31's for about $100-$110 and a 50k treadwear warrenty. I think the cost of 32's goes up significantly and you loose the treadwear warrenty, so your right, they may not be worth the investment. 33x10.50's huh? Not seen those, but sounds like they might fit with light rubbing too.

price is deffintly a issue bent over and took it dry for $187.00 a tire WHOLESALE!!!!!but their grat tires so i cant complain
