My 94 Bronco had 32's on it when I bought it. Stock suspension. No problem. I didn't want that big of tire so I dropped to 31-10.5's. The guy had them on stock rims and it caused tires to wear out in center from being squeezed on the rim. I would get proper rims to fit that size of tire. Otherwise you risk premature tire wear. Another reason I dropped a tire size. Just my thoughts.

Yes 33s will fit under a stock supension. Most stock rims are 15x6, so you would want to go to 15x8, buy you could squize some 33x10.50 on a stock rim if you would want.

33x12.50's rub on the radius arms pretty bad in a tight turn, but 11" wide and under seem to fit no problem.

Based on my measurements on my '95, 32 is the max that may fit without any mods. I saw different bumpers on other years, so they may take 33, but that would be a very tight fight, even for a mall crawler.

PPut 32" MTs on my 95 had to trim an inch off the bottum corner of my bumper so they did not rub. Itis the part in the back of the bumper so it doesnot show. I have seen 33s on stock broncos but I wiould hate to have to crawl over speed bumps like a low rider.
