You should be able to go 33's no problems. I assume they are the 7.5 inch wide rims?

I went to 265/75 16's on the stock rims. Others have gone to 33s.

I looked around but couldn't find anyone willing to fit 33s or 285/75s (Metric equiv) even though Mickey Thompson secify the minimum as 7" for the 285s.

Stock rim is 7".

Of course, if you try a bit harder than I did, you'll probably find a tyre place that will supply and fit for you.

Should cost around $1800 to do all 5.

the early stock 16's arn't wide enough for a 35", need to be atleast 16 x 8, stock rim offset is nasty for the big 35s also, will rub Alot on the tub and swaybar etc.

a few guys have 33's on the stock rims i believe with no probs

Hey mcjk i've gone BFG 285/75/16's or 33's mate and it's fine. Had a minor rub at full lock but if you've got a lift it's fine

According to http://www.bfgoodrich.com.au/index.p...ff_road_suv.74
It looks like the BFG's need 7.5" width for 33"
