Can i put a set of 33inch tires mounted on 15x10 inch wheels on my half ton silverado without putting a lift. If it will fit how bad will it scrub or will it at all.

 

Depends on the year and body style of the truck, but normally 33" tires on 10" wide wheels are a little much for a 1/2 ton 4x4. If its a 4x2 then no way.

 

minor trimming is needed on K5 & K10 models ( lower rear edge or fender ) . Depending on shape of truck, tap lower edge in with hammer. only needs a little. My 02 silverado has 285's on stock alloys with no probs, but 10 inchers looks like you'll need to trim some plastic . not sure what offset is needed either. hope that helps ya some.

 

joechum, what year is your truck.

I have a 97 Silverado 4x4 1/2 Ton and I was thinking of upgrading my tires from 265/75 R16 to the next size up a 285/75 R16 but I was told that I would need at least an 2.5inch lift for those tires to fit. I'm not actually sure what that size is in imperial. I thinking it's close to 33" tall & 12" wide.

 

mine is a 94 silverado a 285 (which is 32 inches tall) should fit on yours with no problem the might scrub a little it depends on how agressive tread you run

 

I do plan to put a more aggresive tire on so I think it would be better if I did lift my truck first. Don't want to dammage anything.
