Default Need help with tires...

Hey guys, will 33x12,5x17 (305 65R17) tires fit the stock rubi rims?
with 1,5" spidertrex spacers and 2" lift? Will they rub?

Thanks

Don't see why not! I have 285/70/r17's..though I thought they were close to 33"
I could probably fit 35's...

Yeah, but will the fit on the rim? The tires won't be too wide for the rim?

You will need spacers. Oh, and 305's arent 12.50's, they are 12" wide. 315 is a 12.50.

As for fitting the rims, they will fit. The center of the tire will wear faster than the outsides unless you get the air pressure just right. As the tire is having to be pinched quite a bit to fit.
