Im thinkin about runnin a set of boggers, 33x14.5x15 on a 10 inch rim. I have a 3in body lift now, and should be upgrading the suspension soon. What kinda offset would be necessary to fit the big momma's in there with minor rubbing. Also what kinda fender shavin would I have to do? Currently I have a set of 32x11.5x15 in mud kings. THanks help is appreciated

Lets see where to start on this delema.:confused:
first thing, the more off set the rims the better your back tires will clear the frame rails and those stupid bump stops. but the worse it is for the front wheel wells, because of the offset when you turn the wheels, the closer the wheel will come to the fender corners meaning huge amount of cutting. its kind of hard to explain by typing it out but if you have done it you will know what i am talking about. I have seen people cut the inside lugs off of there boggers to fit them but you dont want to do that. i think to fit these tires on your ride might be too much trouble and you should try a not so wide tire. unless you are willing to cut a large portion of your fender off each side ;)

Trimming is not a problem, that can be done, and covered up with fender flares, which I would have to get. The only issue is where i'd have to trim. There isn't a whole lot of space between the fender wells and the front doors. Yoshi have you done much fender trimming? If so could you send me a few pics to flamanks@unbc.ca I gotta see how this looks after its done before I make my final decision.

These trucks are only 4,000 lbs. You shouldn't need 14.5" wide tires for anything other than looks.

Ha, the look are just fine thank you, but I can get em relatively cheap, and they are functional. Unlink thornbirds...
