Larger tires with stock rims?
#16
You might want to think about going with a 8", or even 10" wheel, so you dont rub. You can always do a lil trimming also. If you go with a 33x12.50, i wouldnt recomend putting those on your stock wheels. Go with something bigger. And for a good tire, and decent pricing, id go with the BFG Mudders, Theyre a good all around tired, and my bud has a set of 35x12.50, and hes gottin a lil over 40,000 miles on them, which is good for a mud tire.

Your directions are great on changing out the VSS gear...even I can do it. I noticed you still have the stock gear ratio 3:55. After installing the taller tires, did you notice any loss of power? After changing the VSS gear, do I need to look at going with a larger gear ratio (i.e. 3:73)?
Thanks again.

If you swap gears, go for a 4:10 at the minumum. The 3.73's would be better then the 3.55's, but it'll cost the same to do the 4.10's, and they'll do more good in the long run. Then you'll have to change the VSS gear again too.
