I'm getting a lot of mixed answers my question is can you run a 33" tire 12.5 wide on the stock 20" rim with a 2.5 level? Some say you can some say you HAVE to have a 1/4" spacer

From everything I've read online, a true 12.5" wide tire will not work even if leveled. It isn't the wheel well that is the problem, it will rub the upper control arm. I've heard even running a 285 width tire is pushing it close, and that's only 11.22" wide.

You'd be safe with a -12 offset and still look pretty agressive without them sticking out too far.

Haha beat me by a minute sausec!

Nothing more aggravating than being so excited when you get it put together and then run into something like that.

If an tire that is just a tad under 12" will work without rubbing, you just need to adjust about a 1/2 inch. For your offset question: 12mm is just shy of 1/2" (.47244")...so, -12 offset should do the trick.

Pics when you get them put on! :drool:
