Default BFG AT 33x9.50x15??

Is anyone running these? Was looking to pick some up for my 2001 4x4 4 door. Running 2 inch body lift and 2 inch shackle/t-bar crank for lift right now. Running 30x9.5's right now with plenty of space, was wondering if anyone could post up some pictures of 33x9.5's. Does anyone know how the stock rims might fare with these or would it be better to go with something of a more negative offset to fit? Looked around the threads and really couldn't find anyone with 33x9.5 specific info.
Thanks

yeah i have the same setup warthog has. And mine rub occasionally offroad. Also do they even make a 33x9.5? They would look kinda funny if you ask me. A friend of mine has 34x10.5 and those look kinda goofy since they are so narrow for the height.

I've got 33X10.5's on the ZR2 with a 2" bl plus 2" shackles and a tbar crank with moderate trimming.

I STILL rub at full flex on the rear of all four flares. This with the stock rims. I'm thinking you might be a bit worse off than me.

And that includes if you never go off road yet hit the occassional speed bump at your local mall.

Plus the gearing... you would need at least 3:73s or maybe even 4:10s to keep any kind of acceleration.

Just my .02

Sorry for the late response. As to gearing, already running 3.73s. As to the narrow tires, I don't mind the pizza cutter look, and will be doing minimal wheeling with this setup. Also, it definitely wouldn't be for mudding, more trail running and light rock crawling. In the process of a dual D44 build. I mean realistically, aren't the 33s just 1.5 inches more around every point on the tire compared to the 30s since the only difference is the diameter? That's why I was hoping for pictures but I know that barely anyone runs these spec tires.
