I am going to be purchasing some 33"s in early 2012 and I need help to find the right size rim to compliment them without having to trim very much metal, if any. I want somewhere around a 12.5" wide 33" MT tire (I will be doing my body lift in January in preparation) and I will be buying some Cragar Soft 8 15X9" (I'm open to other size rims if there is any advantage).
My questions are:
What will be the optimal backspacing on a 15X9" Cragar with 33's to not have to trim metal? I will trim some if needed to get the wider stance, I just don't want to do anything major. A lip or two is fine but not 1/3 of the wheel well.
Also, what other mods are suggested along with upgrading to 33"s? Ex. Beefing up the steering, getting the speedometer working correctly again, etc. along with any relevant discussion.
