15" wheels do clear the calipers. I have 15's on there now. Stupid 2wd steelies. that's why I want new ones so bad

 

[neliconcept]

yeah he meant on a model like mine where I have sport brakes which only 16s will fit.

Thats going to be a crapload of pinch weld pounding and trimming....

Please show pics of how much pinch weld pounding you guys have done...

I barely cleared 33x11.5x16 Mud Grapplers with a 2.5" lift and 2" BL and pounding the daylights out of the pinch welds...

Lee... try taking off your 1" BL and see how badly you will rub on simple turns...

Runnerup & Nelli... Your 285/75/16's can not compare to 33x12.5's in terms of width... The extra 1" in tire width is what's going to be the problem while turning.

But if you guys still insist he will still clear without rubbing on turns, I won't argue with it anymore...

Have a good day.

I'm with Gripmy on this one... I have a 3" suspension lift and got 33's. I had no rubbing issues... until I turned my wheels about halfway and went into a driveway (which was multiple times everyday). I shaved, pounded and it still rubbed. Just not as badly. I then decided on a 2" BL and I have NO issues with rubbing at any angle and any speed. The 2" BL made a WORLD of difference. I only have the 11.5" widht... I can't imagine what an extra inch would've been like.

blocks only work with leaf springs, coil spacers would work, but will stress your shocks and springs.... if you plan on using your truck at all.... spend the 650 and buy a suspension lift.... dont go the cheap route as you will just have to spend the 650 later anyways when you break something....

i know this is super old, but do you have spacers on there?
