33x15.50-18 Mickey thompson CLAWS

anybody got any pictures of a set of 15.5" wide tires on their trucks? Just got a smoking deal on a new set of 33x15.50-18 inch claws and 18x10 helo HE 821 just curious what they are gonna look like on my truck. OH by the way i did order a 3" leveling kit so they would clear. (HOPEFULLY) If not ill put them in the classifieds and order a 8" rize lift and 37's!

They should look great. I don't have the Claws, but I have the same size Baja ATZ's with a leveling kit. I have no clearance issues even with my fender flares. I just uploaded a close up pic in my gallery, but I can't post until it's processed. Check out my gallery when you get a chance.

Dang.....what a dope, I can't even read. It's been one of those days. Thanks Chipmonk.

Oh well....dieselram, I don't believe those 15.50's will fit with just a leveling kit. Looks like the 8" kit and 37's.

I had a friend that had the MTZ's that were 15.5 wide and they looked good but they rubbed bad even with a huge offset. I had 13.5 claws and they rubbed with a 1" leveling kit but weren't too bad, they only did it just before full lock each direction.

There's a guy around here with a standard cab and 33/15.50 tires and they don't look bad from the side, but from the front or the back or an angle it just looks ridiculous. Even with as far in as they are, they still stick out a ton and look goofy. But, hey....whatever floats your rig.

If you are talking to me I have a 2" leveling kit is all and the wheels are 18 x 10 diamos theres a pic of the exact setup in the classifieds . if you go with a narrow wheel like a 18 x 8.5 you may not have much rubbing at all but it may hard to get a wide tire like what you want mounted on them.

WELL the tires and rims fit wound up making some longer control arms and ordering a trackbar bracket and they fit like a glove. I would need to do some trimming if i wanted to do some wheeling in it but i dont plan on that. I will post some pics up later! Flares are next these things are WIDE and stick out pretty good!
