33X12.5R18 on stock suspension?

[Gr8Daneger]

I’ve searched but haven’t had much luck finding an answer.

Has anyone put 33X12.5R18 on their 200 with stock suspension and Bora 1” spacers. I’m looking for the same height as 275/70R18 but not losing any width over the stock 285’s. I figure with the 1” spacers it should give me enough KDSS clearance I need for fitting the extra width in tire.

Have you considered Lt285/65r18 or lt305/65r18. Both these sizes are known to work. Width of the tire is going to be your challenge with the stock UCAs. With a 12.5 width expect heavy rubbing on the fender liner and surrounding bumper.

It'll be close. Assuming it specs 32.8"x12.5"? For the most part, it'll drop right in and the 1" spacer should be about perfect.

You'll need to do some minor clearanceing of the plastics in the fender liner at the front end and rear edge. KDSS likely needs a relocation forward also but this is relatively cheap and easy. Use a relocation kit, and mount the lower end link to the LCA on the outside of the "bucket" for better angles.

From my experience running a very similar overall diameter tire size, the stock UCA won't be an issue. Should clear just fine.
