Has anyone fitted 33x13.50 rubber ???

[JoFotoz]

I have gone through all the lift posts , and I guess its a question of OME or Calmini spring swap to get 2.5 to 3 inches of lift.

I see several posts with people putting 33x12.50's on their rides...But has anyone put 33x13.50 on a VX..??
Did you go 15 or 16 inch rims....??

Do I need a full 3 inch lift to fit 33x13.50's or will the OME 2.5 inch lift springs be enough?



Any feedback very welcome...

Thanks

Jo -

I've got 285/75R16's on my VX, with an OME912 Spring lift. The tires are 32.68" tall and 11.33" wide. They fit nicely, with minor trimming of the fenders. 13.50" tires are very wide, and might fit with a LOT of trimming, but I'm not sure if it's been done.

I am running 12.5's and I had to do a LOT of trimming. I would definately go with an 11.5 if possible. 13.5's would require TOO much trimming.

I already trimmed the back of front wheel wells more then I really wanted to and after this last weekends 4x4 trip I need to do more trimming.

When you say "Too much trimming"...can you give me an idea of the extent.
Is it just front of front wheel cladding ...or more?

I have a set of 33x13.50 Mickey T Baja Claws that I'd love to put on if I can.

Thanks

If I'm gonna have to really butcher my rig maybe I'll get some 12.50's ...

..but I think the stance with 13.50's would be awesome.

Thanks again.

I have 12.5 boggers on with OME springs and I wasn't even alble to back up from my garage without them rubbing so bad I though I was ripping my wheel well...
They are in a garage and will stay there until I am ready to cut...
One of those days Iwill want to play in a mud and then good bye perfect wheel wells of my VX... LOL

Check my gallery, I just put the pic in there with a short description of what happened.

I also have an extra 1" over just OME springs

Many thanks for the picture...which way am I looking!!!

Is that the cladding at the front of the front wheel??

The picture is taken of the back of the front wheel well on the passenger side. (from the front passenger side)

Thanks...I get the orientation of the picture now.
Looks to me like 13.50's are gonna be TOOOOOOO big!
The Ebony i just got is in "as new" condition , tough call to start butchering it too much just yet.

I really appreciate your input.
