    255 x 85 seems to be the way to get to 33" on those wheels.

    No lift, no cutting.

    What bill said. You can't go wider than 265s without rubbing your upper control arm. 255/85r16 is 33" tall and will fit with no issue on stock wheels, no spacers.

    what does that kit say for height? the width is the problem upper control arm is literally 1/2" from rubbing on a stock tire... without a spacer, or new rims with a better offset (stock 3rd gen are -45) you would need a -10 to 0 ofset to fit anything close to a 33x12.5.. but that's a heavy tire to move with stock gearing..

    *biggest i would go is 285/75/16 (basically a 33" tire in 11.2" width +/- depending on manufacturer)... if you are going the spacer route.. I recommend a 1.25" spacer, and get the extended thread nuts offered..

    *your other option is to go with what we call pizza cutters basically a skinnier tire (stock-ish width) such as a 255/85/16 10" wide vs 10.4" (slight rub at full lock/stuf, you will rub on fender well/liner and mudflaps. with a 33" tire you will definitly need a 2-3" lift, and quite possibly a CMC to reduce rubbing at full steering lock, an aftermarket upper control are can help it you get an adjustable one to adjust castor angle.

    I got mine off Amazon for $104 for the spacers, and $45 for the extended nuts.. I used red loc-tite, and my torque wrench to spec.. I also pulled the tires after driving 50 miles and re torqued the spacers, as well as the rim lugs. I need a lift (looking at AAL, u-bolt flip kit'/active bumpstop from Timbren, some 700lbs 2"+ coils, and bilstein 5100's all around for now. as I plan to add a winch, and bumper/armour)

    you are limited in available tires/tread patterns for the 16" rim, so many go up to a 17" X 8-9" wide rims to fit bigger meats. there are also other tread patterns available.
