Help w 33's

I'm really wanting 33's.. As i've noticed there is none that will go with the 18's that came w the truck. What you guys running to fit 33's on these truck. Im looking at Dicky Cepek 325/50/18, but it calls for a 9" rim..

The stock 18's come with 32" tires. I went with 285 65 18's - which are about 32.6" tall.

I read somewhere in a post why a guy said he believes the 305 aren't safe, and the tread life won't be good.. any thoughts..

If your running stock Goodyear AT/S LT 275/65R18 they are listed at 32.1" diameter. If you've got BFG Rugged Trail P275/65R18 they are listed at 31.9" diameter.

Don't you mean 325/60-18 vs 50? I've not seen that size. Regardless 1.5 inches undersized on recommended rim width might get you in trouble. You do run some level of risk of unseating the bead if the rim width is too narrow. What about going with a 305/65-18. Roughly the same diameter with a width of 12.2 vs 13.5. Then your only off a half inch on rim width which wont be a problem at all.

Just a thought.
