Should I regear for that? I am ordering 33 12.5 20 Nitto Mud Grapplers and want to make sure I won't have to regear for that, and also anyone have any problems with the width of these rubbing? Here are a couple pics, the tire and the other pic is the rim I'm getting with them.

3.92's or 4.10s would be way better for a 33x12.5 then 3.55 but 3.55 will work.

Myself ive never understood mud tires on 20" rims. Seems self defeating if you ask me.

the overall height of the 33s shouldn't be an issue, but the MudGraps are f*cking HEAVY tires. Even the 360 will not like spinning em.

You won't NEED to regear, but you'll certainly add some more wear to your trans!

I'm not sure you can fit a 12.50 w/o any lift. But there is plenty of metal to cut behind the wheel well to clear it. :-D

I don't think you'll be able to fit them on a stock 2wd since you can barely fit 33s on a stock 4x4. We can't tell if you'll rub width size since we don't know the specs of the wheels. For a full size 33x12.5 mud tire you are definitely going to want to regear to 4.10s. I'm going to highly recommend you not go with Mud grapplers since they are horrible on road. Expect 20K or less even with routine rotation. If you want mud tires that will last awhile on road go with Toyo OC M/Ts, Nitto Trail Grapplers, or Cooper STTs.
