I am getting green keys installed next week. Here's my question; I want to run 33/13.50x20 tires. Will this be possible with just the keys? Is that tire too wide? I dont want the "bulldog" look, if I can run that size, what backspace do I need?

Thanks

it can fit but ur going to have to do some trimming. the more backspacing u get the better. ur probably going to end up with a 9-10" wheel and one with 5.5" would be ur best bet.

I don't think a panhandler would be able to accomplish such a task. LOL Go Gators!!
1 You will have trim the inner fenders
2 zip tie plastic fenders and brake line back
3 space out you're front bumper an inch with washers or trim it.

Look at my garage I did it with 18's : Edit never mind U already saw it

I have 33x12.5R20's. My wheels are 9" wide with a backspacing around 4.61. A little more backspacing would be nice but I don't really mind. I have the truck level but it does rub a little bit in the rear when I turn the wheels tight. You can check out my garage to see how much they stick out. It's not to bad and I like the look, it just sucks when I get mud down the side of my truck. 13.50 might rub a little bit more. I guess I just have to wash my truck more! More backspacing might let the tire not rub as much.

Good Looking truck Chris, I am thinking now the 13.50's may be a little too wide, probably should be happy with a 12.50. 12.50's on a 5 " back space should do the trick.

If you use your truck for pulling any heavy loads don't install the green keys. I did this about a year ago and my towing was so bad I had to lift it the correct way. Around town it was find but put a load behind it and it was crap...:badidea:

Believe me, I would really like a lift kit over the keys but cost is a huge factor. I dont really pull anything anyway, maybe every now and then but not regularly. I really like the ProComp All-terrains in the 13.50. Hopefully I can fit some 33's under my truck without the bulldog look.
