Another Tire Question 2wd 02

I posted several weeks ago saying that I wanted to put 32's or 33's on my truck. I got some good feedback, most said run a 32x11.5.

I can't seem to find the bfg all terrain in that size though, maybe I am not looking in the right places. I want to run the bfg all terrains with some black steelies, and the smallest rim I can put on is a 16" which the bfg all terrains don't do with a 32 as far as I can tell.

I want it to look like this..sorry for the quality 2 min photoshop ha..


How would 33x12.5x16 run on there? Couldn't I play with the offset to get them to fit pretty good? Or would they just rub horribly?


My other idea is to keep it like it is and but a wider bigger tire on the rear and about the same size one up front. Can I do this with the same size rims or do I need two different rim sizes? Because if I did it this way I would like to just keep the rims I have on it.


I know I ask several questions, any and all help is very appreciated. I am not completely new to tires, I have a ranger with 35's on it, and has a lift, but I am new to the 150's so everything is sorta foreign again as sizes go and whats do able and whats not. All I know is people run 33's on stock ranger edges with no problems, so could I do that on my 150?

Again, thank you for all and any help.

I'd suggest a set of 16x8's with 4.5 inches of backspacing and some 265/75-16 BFG's which are essentially a 32x10.50-16 tire.

I want something at least 11.5 inches wide, that is what is on it now and it still seems dinky. 33x12.5 wouldn't work?

No. If you add a set of Daystar coilspring spacers up front you could squeeze a 285/75-16 (33x11.50) on there using 16x8 wheels.

What would the 33x12.5s rub on if it has no lift? Would it just be the valence, or would it rub else where?

Probably the valance and the back of the wheelwell. If you want to run 33x12.50's (305/70-16), I'd go with more lift. A 3 inch PA body lift should give you enough clearance.
