33'' tires with a 2.5'' lift am I crazy?

I have been working all summer and have money for the Taco! I want bigger tires now that my truck is lifted, I am thinking about getting some 33x10.50x15 Toyo MT's. I realize I would have to do some cutting but how much and what kind? The tire is actually 32.8'' tall any help or pictures of cuts would help me out.

 

I got a 3" rough country lift kit for my truck....put 33's on it as well. I removed the mud flaps and had to do a little cutting in the front wheel wells. Minor cutting on the fenders I took an box cutter to the truck and within 2 or 3 minutes I was not rubbing anymore. I will send some picts tomorrow

 

first gen vs second gen, its a whole different animal.

 

my uncles has 285's and I compared them with my tires on my truck now and I would have to do trimming for sure, but I dont know what kind, and the new tires I want are narrow for a 33

 

i have a 1st gen with a 3" lift on 33/10.5s and have no rub issue at all, did not even need to trim anything

 

You might be able to get away with that tire but whether you do will depend a little on how much backspacing/offset the wheels have. If you intend to put those tires on a stock rim you'll likely see more rub compared to a rim with less backspacing.

 

i have a 3'' lift with 33'/12.50 !!!!! So no you re not crazy

 

heres a pic of the tires

 

My rims have alot of offset they stick out of my wheel well a inch or two so I dont think I would have to put a spacer on.

 

Truck looks awesome brian I like the tires and truck so much!!

 

Awesome.

 

Brian did you have to trim your front valence?

 

i have 2.5" SAW coilovers up front with 255/85 16 tires and did not have to cut at all. the only time they rub is at full lock. i just dont turn all the way

 

i've got an 02 with 3" lift with 285/75/16 and had to trim the rear above the mud flaps about 1/4" even though i took the mud flaps off

 

Cool this has really helped me out so far guys
