33/12.50-15's on 8" Rally Wheels fit a stock K10 ?

[440sixpack]

I have 10.50's on my wheels now and they're a little lacking on looks. I was planning to go with 11.50's but I'm wondering if 12'50's may be an option.

I have a '77 K10 with new stock springs and leveled a bit in the front. it's not jacked up . will 12.50's fit okay and will they look okay I don't want them hanging outside the fender well more than a tiny bit a better yet not at all. wheels are 8" rally's . I don't care about serious off roading clearance it's more of a road princess.

pictures would help if anyone has any.

Old tire pic.

Yes, 33 x 12.50 x 15s will fit a 8 inch ralley wheel.

My old 77 Sub ran them at stock height no problem.
.This Sub has a 4 inch lift that I suspect has sagged some.

I assume you have 31s now - 32s are typically 11.5 wide but are more expensive from what I have seen than 33s.

Yes and there are less choices in the 32 11.50's as well. do you think without a lift the 12.50's would be a problem ?

You may have some rub when turning, but maybe not.

My old 77 did not. But, its springs were not 44 years old at the time, either.

Maybe they will let you mount the fronts up and give it a try ?

Discount usually has some time period where you can try them and return them if you dont like them .

Can't hurt to ask.

That's a possibility.

In the picture it looks like the front tires are outside the wheel well a bit, maybe it's because the wheel is turned a little. I'm wanting to avoid that since there's so much rock on the road in this country it would blast the paint even worse than normal.

Don't let the looks fool you as this truck is a 1980 K10.
Changed the cab and the front clip came with it many years ago.
33/12.50-15's work great and ran them on 1/2 ton square body all the way back to 1973 and up without problems with stock suspension.
They used to rub when turning hard right if running board equipped.

3 up close front shots of the Cooper Evolution M/Ts which I think are a bit narrower than the old Kumhos.

Same 33 x 12.50 x 15 size, however.

Those tires are the cats ass!!!

Those do look good. I don't care about tread wear as little as I drive it but do those drive half decent ? I'm sure they're noisy but that comes with tires like that.

These are still under 1K in mileage and really quiet.

Not like I autocross with Goldie, but I think they handle well and have good wet weather traction.

Pretty pleased so far. I mainly wanted you to be able to see the side view and width since that seemed to be your biggest concern.

If 32s weren't more expensive I might have gone with them for a change.

That's what our 4RUNNER has in metric form :
265 75 R 16.

Not sure there is a metric 15 inch equal.

The 32's are much less popular and much less to choose from. I may go with them in the end though because I'm trying for a modified Dessert Rat look and the 32's are bigger than stock but not overwhelming. the 31's I have now just seem a little wimpy.

I have a '77 Silverado K10 SWB with a two tone santa fe tan and white so I'll never have a clone. but I do have the Hickey brush gaurd and I found a roll bar that will all be painted tan so with a little imagination it'll sort of give that look. thinking about 15x8 white mojocks and painting them tan with center caps and trim rings as the desert fox had too.

Look kind of like this ?

Pretty similar. my '77 tan is darker than that but the same paint scheme. I can't believe that sold for that price it's nice but I don't see it.

Those must be 35's ? way too big for my taste .

Here’s my ‘84 33” 10.5 / no lift. 12.5s on a street truck makes no sense and looks odd and they’re noisy. IMO
