33x12.50 on stock 08 wheels?

Dustball8504 · Oct 12, 2011

Will 33x12.50 tires fit stock 20 inch 08 wheels and will they rub on a F-250 at stock height? I really don't want to lift the truck at all.

Yes they will fit fine. The stock tires on those wheels are 34.5" so you shouldn't have a problem at all.

Its mainly the width I'm worried about when it comes to rubbing. Anyone have pics of this setup?

There's a few guys running 35x12.50s stock with minimal rubbing. I'd say they'd more than likely fit.

If it rubs anywhere, it will rub on the radius arms. That's a short tire. Why not go with a 35" tire? Those 33's will measure less than 33" mounted.

Yea my 35x12.5x18 rubbed a little on the radius arm on full turn.

I have 33x12.5 on a stock 96 with no rub. Should be fine on an 08 I'd even say a 35" would be better

They won't rub at all. My buddy had his at stock height with 20x12s and 33 toyo mts and then put the 33s on his factory 20s. No rub with either set-up. No leveling kit what so ever.

You could also go with a 265/75r20 which is basically 33" also.

Went with a general grabber a/t and really love them! They aren't too expensive and last with a good ride. Same tread as a BFG A/T

I've read where people running a 35 inch tire rub, if I found say a 35x11.50 would it rub on stock suspension or not?

TripleE44 · Oct 13, 2011

The rub that we're talking here is just grazing the radius arm at full lock. It does no damage to anything other than the paint on the radius arm. Makes no noise and it's something that if you were that worried you could just be sure not to turn that far. I wouldn't go with a skinnier tire for that.

Right, I had 35x12.50s on my 04 with just a leveling kit and it rubbed the leaf springs hard at full lock and would shake the truck lol. It wouldn't bother me if it rubbed a little a full lock and made no noise though.

35/12.50 on a 20x10 with rubbing only on fender well. not radius arm.. stock height.

Non stock wheels change the whole positioning and even the shape of the tire to some extent.

My truck rubbed the radius arms on a 2.5'' lift and 325/65R20s just because of the width. The radius arm rubbing was so un-noticeable that I didn't even know it was happening until I was under the truck cleaning and saw it.
