Default Fitting tires

Hey guys, could I possibly fit 32x11.50r15 or 33x12.5 tires with a 2.5 in suspension lift and a 2 in body lift? I looked at the guide and it didn't really answer my question. Also what wheel width and backspacing would be best with those tires? Thanks

The only way you'll fit those tires with that lift is if you do some fairly serious trimming of your fenders, especially right behind the front tire. Most people have to remove a pie shaped chunk at the bottom. If you want to go with the 33"s you probably have to trim both the front and the back of all 4 fender wells. I haven't done it and some with more experience may chime in here. I have seen guys do it though; you just have to be willing to cut up your truck.

As for wheels and back spacing you're going to want something with around 4.5" of backspacing or you'll also be rubbing on the frame when you turn. The stock 4x4 rims have 6" of backspacing.
