Question for all you offroad gurus out there. Im looking at putting a the prg leveling kit on my 05 4x4 se offroad edition. I wanted to know if 33X12.50's rub or not? Also if anyone has tried to install a 16in rim or 16.5 rim? This would greatly increase tire and rim choices. My goal is to have a throwdown rim and tire set I can use when I want to get some serious muddin or rock climbin done.

I am pretty sure the 285s that come with the offroad package are pretty much 33s already so you shouldnt have a problem there. As far as the smaller rims, I think you have to have at least 17 inch to clear the brakes. I think...

No, they should not rub. It WILL depend on the offset of the wheel. I've got the 18" and they are 32.6" X 11.2".
If you put 33x12.50's on the factory wheels they may not rub or maybe just very little. I have the PRG level kit and I bought aftermarket wheels 17x9 with 5.5" of backspace and running BFG 285/70r17. Which is like 32.8x11.5 and I have about 1/4" of space when the tires are turned but they dont rub at all. So 12.5 inch wide tires may cut it close.
