pics man (when you do get them.)
that'd be sweet with 33"s, will they be 12.5" wide as well?
i could only fit 32"s with some rubbing when the sus. cycles. with 33"s, i'd probably only be able to drive in a straight line.
let us know how it goes.

well with the massive offset rims i have (ex overkill buggy) i`m thinking 12.5's might work
i was thinking 33x10.5's but as far as can see only BFG make a muddy in that size :(

massive offset only adds to your problems, like it has done with mine (and mine are a less offset than the buggy ones) , cause your scrub radius (i think thats what its called) will be huge

Well... Kelly Springfield so one and there's some 9.5"s as well. Simex do a 32x9.5 thats gonna be similar.
Have you cosnidered 7.5R16? I've got some cool pics of one of them here thats over 32"

I just bought some 33x10.5 r16s yesterday. They look mad, only cost me $100 second hand for all of them off a mate, decent condition. Finding the 16" rims is the hard thing. I found some old jeep 16"s that fit but were only 5.5" wide. Anyone know which jeep rims came in 16"? I know the cj rims fit but dont know if they came in 16". Don't know much about jeeps. I know I can't buy 16x8s for a sierra, they don't make them and custom ones cost too much. Does anyone here run 16" rims?

I think 7's are enough for 10.5's they are available new I think? as there is others using same pattern, christover

I tried to get a set of 31x10.5s on my 15x7s and the guys at the tyre shop wouldn't do it. They said the rims were too small. I have heard people fit them regardless but I think it is illegal, but then again so is running 33"s.

Get a set of standard Grand Vitara steelies or alloys 16x7's. Are you in sydney?? I know of a set that was available..

In Perth. I tried to get 16x8 grand vitara rims and I can't find any, not even new sunraisers, I can't afford new alloys. New sunraisers were more of the top end price wise, I'd prefer some second hand cheapies, the tyres with lanrover rims only cost me $100. Are you sure the 16x7s will be big enough for 33x10.5s?
Even if they fit illegally, they will cause the tyres to wear more won't they? Because they are being pulled in more. Also wouldn't they sit different? Like maybe taller and narrower or something?
