33" tires

Hey guys I have a 92 shortbed 2wd and im wondering if anyone is running a set of 33 12.5 15 tires on their truck without any lifts or whatnot. found a good price on a set and wonder if they would work? any thoughts would be appreciated.

33's won't clear on a 4x4 without a levelling kit and spacing the bumper out an inch or 2.

Also largely depends on the wheels you have. If they stick out, gonna be harder to clear items like bumper.

Ford a 2wd stock height or leveled 31 10.50 is the best fit. A 32 11.50 will work if it is leveled. I wouldn't go bigger than 31s if you have a 5.0 or 4.9. They become down on power with large tires.

F350 I think is the key to your success for 33's on a stock suspension.

I'm on what appears to be 3"ish of lift and 32x12.50R15 I can easily run the 33x12.50R15 that I hope to install in the spring
