Pricing needed for swampers etc

I am intending on putting approx 33" x10.5" swampers/simex etc on the 15x7" rims on my 2 door Rangie (I know! SKATE BOARD WHEELS!) and are after thoughts and ideas on pricing tyre types etc. I havent lifted the body yet so 33" is about the max height but all panels are pre-stuffed so I dont care about cutting more out of the outer guards!
Any ideas would be great!

should be around the $300 area
last week i got some prices
34x9.5 tsl and 33x10.5 jt2s are $290-300
so i think the 33x10.5 swampers should be close

Thanks.
Where did you get your rubber from and does anyone have a preferance between TSL's and Jungle/Extreme trekkers and for what reasons? The car is used mainly in mud and clay hills around Toolangi / Gembrrok areas with the only highway travel being the 50 k's to and from.

the swamper prices i got from arb southern 9793 0002.
the simex prices i got from dynamic 4x4 9753 4005.
they're both good. i'm partial to the centipedes myself but i'll probably end up getting the 34x9.5 tsls because i like pizza cutters.
which area are you in?

Many may disagree but i think the centipedes are a better mud tyre for toolangi/gembrook mud. Thats what I'm running on my Rangie anyway.
Will you do the body lift before putting the 33's on coz you will have clearance issues if you don't.

I prefer to call them "Chainsaws" NAM - it sounds a little tougher

What sort of clerance issues am I likely to encounter with 33's?
I have cut 2" out of the outer guards and have about 50mm more offset than standard rims.
Cheers
