    I've got LT265/75R16 Cooper ATPs on stock 16x7 steel wheels now but am wanting to move up to a skinny 33 and also find a lighter alloy wheel. From what I've read on here, the SCS F5 16x8 with 4.5" backspacing sounds like it works well for a 285/75R16 with minimal rubbing, but I haven't found as much info on the skinny 33s. Any suggestions?

    I have the skinny 33" Maxxs on 17s and I chose the level 8 Mk6 wheel. They have backspacing and come in 16" as well and can be had in silver, gunmetal grey and bronze. Also not to bad on price.

    The wheel you mentioned is great too, all depends on your taste and budget.

    Nice! What is the weight of those wheels?

    I'm running Bronze SCS F5 16x8 with 4.5" backspacing and ST Maxx 255/85's. When the tires were new, tight turns like pulling into a driveway, it would rub without a cab mount chop. Just barely though. Could have been from the extra weight of plate bumper and winch though.

    What UCAs and how do you have them set? I have a 2.5" Toytec lift with Light Racing UCAs, so I can probably adjust it some.

    I have LR UCA's set to the regular setting, none of the + or - settings.

    I also had light rubbing when new. I'm not sure how much those rims weigh by themselves though
