33s will fit easily with minimul lift....when i bought mine it was on 33s with std. leafs and 2" extended shackles. 15x8s will tuck inside the front guards, but with 15x10's the tyres used to hit the lip of the front fenders.

I then installed a 4" spua lift and kept the 2" extended shackles, also extended the front and rear bumpstops down 3" too to limit the rubbing. It now runs 35s fine, with just some minor scrubbing on the front lip of the guard.

I'm running 35 mtzs on my 45. Has 2" lift springs and a 3" body lift. only rubbing i get is on the steering arm ball joint. only happens off road when flexed and on hard lock.

yea thanks for the picks guys got 2inch lifted springs and shackels with a 2 inch body lift have to look at some offset rims to make sure that it clears the steering arm

where it hits the steering arm (the relay rod up the chassis), you can just wind your steering stop out a touch to stop it hitting it.

they'll fit on standard height springs, no bodylift too :D
