Stock here too. But I know you can stuff the 33's under there with little or minimal rubbing, depending on the tire.

that will all depend on what offset the wheel has

offset and backspacing go hand in hand they both can move the wheel
in and out
you need to measure your stock wheel or what ever wheel is on their now so you know what you have first

I'm still stock sizes on mine. Bigger wheels/tires would definitely look better. I won't increase size on mine only because I don't want to lose torque when towing at 65 - 70 mph.
