How wide are your wheels? 12.50's will fit on 8" rims which are pretty common. I have a four inch lift with 33x12.50's. It also depends alot on what you plan on doing with your truck. Narrow wheels are better for mud, but in my opinion 12.50's are better for crawl'in.

well they are 15x8 so the 12.5s would fit on there ok? i think i'm going to get the BFG KM2 tires instead the 33x12.5x15, i think they'll look pretty good and they basically look like the krawlers but the lugs aren't as deep so yeah and i mean they're BFG so you can't go wrong there especially since they are like 50 bucks cheaper for each tire hahahaha any other suggestions on tires? heres a pic of the rims i'm runnin now with my dinky 31x10.5 MTRs hahaha oh with the 12.5s do i need to have rims that have backspacing or should i just get wheel spacers or can i run them on the rims i have and still be able to turn the tires all the way without rubbing them on the leaf springs? lots of questions hahaha thanks guys i'm a tard when it comes to tires

12.50's will fit. You don't have to have spacers or backspacing. They may rub a little but there are adjustment bolts on the inside of the wheel that you can adjust so you don't rub when you turn.
