what would it take for 33/12.50/17

I know i can fit 33s on my dads/mine 97 f150 4x4 offroad, but i think i remember hearing that 33/12.50's wont fit on there stock. So just curious what it would take to be able to run those, or even if i could run them stock with minimal rubbing? I'm thinking torsion key up front and 2 in blocks in the rear for a temporary little lift. Any help or comments are appreciated, thanks.

The stock 265/70r17's are 31.7" tall and 10.5" wide. You would need wider wheels, probably at least 9" wide. You may have to trim a little in the front, depending on the offset of the wheel.

I have 33x11.50's on my truck, and there is more than enough room for an extra inch of width. I say it should be just fine stock. If worse comes to worse, just trim a little off the plastic air-dam

285/70/17's are not 33x12.50. They are 33x11.50. They will fit just fine stock.

Here's a pic:

Thanks!

The largest size you can get the Destination M/T in for a 17" wheel is the 285. They do make a 305 for 16" wheels however...
