Default Any issues?

Anyone had any problems running 33" x 12.5" tires on the stock rims? I am not able to afford new wheels, but I might be able to swing wheel spacers when i purchase myt next set of tires.

Your tires will rub, you need wheelspacers.

Some shops will not mount wide tires on narrow rims. (narrower than the mfg's recommended width) Other than that, lots of people are running them on stock rims with no issues. That is assuming you use wheel spacers and/or don't mind trimming anything that rubs.
