The best i could get. Crappy weather all week, mixed with crappy cellphone. Works out to about 32.8 x 11.5 Actually feels a little bit higher than my 33 x 12.5s. Maybe its the difference in sidewall size and load range? ( i was previously on loadrange C 15" rims) But feels pretty good. Rides more like a Tahoe now with all terrains instead of MTs but alwell. The spacing was starting to annoy me. Im content, for now

Yea iv been crazy busy lately. This is with 1.5" spacers with adapters from our 6 x 5 to the chevy 6 x 5.5. These rims are 17 x 7.5. I believe chevy full size half ton spacing ( i forgot to measure ) is 6" BS.They fit with plenty of room and basically no rubbing at all ( i trimmed the front plastic with my other tires due to the spacing so thats why there isnt any now )

Those look nice. A bit more practical than the stickie-outies.

yea now i can actually fit through toll booths :excited:

It was a win win, i actually gained a little bit of height, lost only about an inch of width and cured my spacing issue. Little better fuel economy too with the all terrains, and less drag coefficient with the tires tucked.

That looks much better. Looks like we are running the same set up except I have the oil BDS shocks. I think mine stick out a hair more than yours now. :lol:
