tire choices

So I need some opinions from my second gen owners. Will 33x12.5R17 on a 17x9 rim rub with a fox 3 inch lift? And will the 33x12.5 be bad in the snow? I think they would look good but I still need to trail my truck and not hurt its snow performance

 

Snow performance is going to be largely effected by the actual tire you get, not the size.

and a 33x12.5 is a wide sumbitch.... you are pretty much guaranteed to rub.

 

yeha you gonna rub with a 12.5 wide

 

haha that it is! I might just go 33x10.5 on a 17x8 rim

 

All things being equal, skinny tires are better in snow than wide tires.

 

do they even make that size? usually for a "33" you would run a 285/70R17

 

I've been looking and honestly don't see any... I want a more true 33 than a 32 but it is kind of hard finding a 10.5, but I really dont want to go very narrow

 

Figured, you likely wont find tire sizes as "small" as we typically run on a taco 16 or 17in rim with standard inch measurements. Your best bet is a 285/70R17 ... you will still have to trim, cut, flatten things at this size with any lift.

 

that is unfortunate not going to lie... I was hoping to not have to trim anything down and be able to trail the truck with the 3in lift and maybe spacer if required... because I havent found the backspacing on the new fuel kickers, which I really want in the 17x9
