Is it okay to run 33s on stock Raider axels?

[Raider27]

Hey all,
I have a 89 Dodge Raider V6 and I'm looking into getting a set of BFG mud terrains, 33x10.5x15 , I'd be running them on my stock rims as well. Has anyone experienced any issues with this? A major loss of power? Ruining axels? Rubbing? I'm also looking into some wheel spacers and I'm wondering if they will even be necessary, I definitely want the tires sticking out from the fender wells.

I'd love to see some pictures if y'all have 33s on yours!

Thanks,
Mackinley

No issues what so ever, they should have come with 33x10.5s stock. There may be a slight rub on the front bumper corner *maybe. If so cut it with a hot razor knife and call it a day. Your axles will be fine even if you hammer on them, they are much bigger than what comes on a Jeep.

Here is a sampling of photos of 33s on my Raider and a 4-door Montero.

good looking raider and monteros, waiting for my tread to disappear then i will do the same on my LWB 1990. I cranked t-bars and have OME rear springs so I'm hoping I'll have the same gap or more for uptravel.

You guys make me miss my '89 Montero! I ran LT235/75R15 Springfield Safari AWRs on mine, I had a neighbor running 31-1050R15s on his but as I recall, his rubbed at full lock. Neither of us was lifted. If I ever see one for sale in decent shape, I'm buying it. I always wanted a Gen II two-door but they never made it to the States.
