i was wondering if a 33-12.5/15 would fit on my 84 pickup with a 1.5 inch shackle lift. i have 31-10.5/15 on there right now.

33's would be too big you will need about 4 inches to clear them and not rub.

hmm... I have 30s on the stock 85 with negative arched springs, and the tires are contacting the firewall bad enough to cut them up.

now if i was to put wheel spacers on would that help at all.

On my 88 I ran 33x12.50's with no rubbing.
Wheel width and backspacing has a lot to do with it.

yota18

what is a good size for the back spacing and how do you measure it
