I'm running 33 12.50 16.5 with just the bars turned and some trimming. Not sure what backspacing the wheels have.

You may fit those with a full 2-3" leveling kit (uca's, keyes, shocks) and trimming. I would recommend going 4" to retain you ride, cv angles, ect.

no! they won't fit with just torsion bar cranking. i have 33 x 12.5 with 4.53 bs and i couldn't even come close to fitting them. i did some minor trimming and still wouldn't fit. in order to fit them i would have had to cut the metal bumper and trim the fenders out and it would have looked horrible and rode horrible as well. now my wheels are sitting in my garage until i get my lift. i suggest waiting and getting some kind of lift.

You can with the correct back space of the wheels like H2's , Mine tires are 32.71 dia. and 11.50 inches wide. I have the t-bar cranked about one and a half inches with minor plactic wheel well trim. Smooth ride also. :D

Are you wanting an all terrain tire like a bfg (mostly square) or a toyo mud terrain that has knobbies all over the edges?

Look in my garage and at the ones in front of the glass building.. I have 33x12.5x18 with either a 4.5 or 5" BS and they fit but rubbed like crazy. Like Nor-Cal Navvy said, a 4" would be your best bet and retain your ride and CV's.

Im running a 33X12.50R20 with t bars cranked on a 20X10 wheel and they barely rub while turning the wheel all the way in reverse, I have 4.5" BS. Yes they fit, dont let anyone tell you they wont.
