tire size please help fast.

First off please moderator don't tell me to use the search function, I already have. But I bought some used eagle 589 wheels 16x10 and bolted them up without a tire trying to see what would fit. The edge of the outside lipe is about an inch outside of the fender. The problem is my father saw a rub-mark on my fenderwell exit headers with my stock tires and doesn't want to go with anything bigger than a 31, but my lil brother drove the pickup while I was out of town, and that is when it happened so how it happened I dont know. Does anyone have 33x12.5 or 33x11.5 inch tires with fenderwell exit headers. And if anyone does, could they get some pics of how close they are?? thanks Alot. Aaron

even if they do ahave those same tires you are looking at there lift could be more than you have. i have fenderwell headers with 16 1/2" wide 36" tall cepeks on my truck and don't have a problem rubbing. if you are getting a slight rub you can always adjust the steering stop's to eliminate that problem. for normal driving you would be fine, it would just take more of a circle to do a circle turnaround.
hope this helps ya out

I was hopin fer stock, because that is what I am at. But just something close, because the only thing around here that is comparable is a big nasty, I think 9200 gvw 74 with 36.5x14's on it. But I want to get these done before I leave for coolege.
