Default 33x12.5x15 Tire

Im thinking about going with a 33x12.5x15 with a 15x8 crager D wheel with a 4.0 BS. Does anyone know if this setup will fit? This will be going on a TF 2.5BB.

Easily. No need for spacers as far as I can think.

One of the experts may have a different opinion.

if I wanted to go with 35x12.5x15 would I need new gears? Would a 2.5BB be big enough for 35s ??

yeah I think I might just do 33's. From what Ive been reading 35s with 3.73's on an auto are terrible and are getting 10mpg. I wont be doing a lot of off-roding so I think it will just be overkill.

what do you think about a 33x12.5R16 with 5" backspacing? I know I'd be cool with 4.5", just wondering how much I have to play with.
