Definitive Answer On An Often-Asked Question

[Texas9902]

I know that this issue has been discussed ad-nauseum here and I have searched and read all the threads I could find, but I could not find a definitive answer to the question of whether 33x10.5x15 BFG AT KOs will fit an uncut EB with a 2.5 inch lift and stock rims without any rubbing or without having to roll under the rear fender lip. I know that leucbronc is running a similar setup with different tires and posted on it. He said that he gets some rubbing, but I did not know if that may be different with BFG AT KOs. I see that Nick will put those tires on his rigs with a 2.5 inch lift and they look great, but am not sure of what magic he may be using to make that happen, if any at all.

Any feedback from anyone with experience with these tires with this lift would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I was running 31x11.50-15 b.f.g.'s on an uncut 74 with a 2.5 lift and they rubbed at every bump. Went to a 31x10.50 and the rubbing stopped. Pretty sure the bigger tires will rub.

33x10.5x15 vs. 33x11.5x15

Thanks--was the rubbing because it was a 33 inch tire or because it was an 11.5 in wide tire?

Usually with 33x10.50's the only rubbing you'll get is on the inner fender lip at full flex which can be bent to clear.
Of course other things like body mounts should be in good condition. If they are worn out you may get more rubbing.
