I bought a set of 33's the other day on Chevy rally wheels....back ones fit great, but front ones won't fit over hubs! Im pretty sure the chevy's are 4" and mine are 4 1/4" ? Anyways, im running the old 31's with the 16" rims in the front and the 33's on 15" wheels in the back  :stopit: It looks a little weird, but the ride is a hell of a lot better compared to the old crack hard tires on the 16's. I cant imagine how it will ride, if i can get the front ones on too..  :gap:  So, if anyone was a set of 15's that will take 33x12.5x15 tires, let me know. I have my 16" rims/tires and my stock 15" rims/tires for trade, if anyone wants them...Im in Sacramento. Thanks.

I remeasured the difference in hub clearance, and the Chevy's are actually 3 3/4" and not 4"....Like i originally thought :hammerhead: .

Would it affect the integrity of the wheels too much, to take the difference out? Since the wheels are basically useless, i already took the Sawzall to one of em and widened the hole just for experimental purposes :screwy: ....And it leaves about 5/16" between the lug holes and the center hole. When i get the other done, im slapping em on there and driving it till they crack through or show some sign of added stress or unpredictability :driving: .

Just wondering if anyone has done this or if its already been done and failed :_oops: ?

Thanks guys
