Careful with a wider offset on your rig. I tried a set of 6-hole chevy stock 15" rims with BFG AT (31") tires. These rims have about an 1.5" offset to the outside. The truck looked awesome with the wider stance but there is a but.

Even though these tires are about an inch smaller than my 265/75/16 there was much more interference to the point where it would have ripped off the front part of the fender/bumper. I even jacked the torsion bars up a couple of inches with a bit of help but there was still some interference.

That's why most guys who step up to a 33" tire for their trucks do the body lift.

Yes is is possible to fit 33's without doing the BL, but there is a lot of hammering/cutting/massaging to do to make them fit!

I have a BL sitting in my garage, just waiting to get put on, but I'm holding off until I can afford to get 33's.

:lol: I too have a 3" BL sitting in my garage waiting to be installed. I am holding back until I get the more important stuff done first. New tires, rear springs and exhaust are next on the list. I better find more customers :lol:

You should probably wait to buy tires until your BL is on. You'll be able to fit larger ones at that point.
