So, after working a ton, plus school, and a girlfriend, along with winter which basically halted most of my progress on my raider.

I am looking pretty green at the moment <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

And have been pondering about what to do with my raider..i was going 31 10.5 15 But now, i'm thinking 33 12.5 15

Info on my vehicle
Engine: 4 Cylinder Remanufactured
Mileage: 100 on new engine
Replacements: Bigger Radiator, KYB Shocks (Equate to 1 1/4 Lift, almost 1 1/3) All new hoses, etc

Is this a viable choice? I am going to go with 15x8 Rims if i do this.

Any problems may i encounter? I know i will most likely have to trim the bump stops. But also on a mechanical level, may 33's put too much strain on the good ol' 4 cylinders? (This will basically be my DD, and a bit of an off road vehicle..nothing major besides an easy going trail or two :] every now and then)

Also-what backspacing should my rims be? 3.25?


I've read the links, and have sort of asked this question before, but i like a more thorough response to basically all the things i have. Looking at a chart or what others say about a general consensus of things makes me kind of nervous on whether or not I should order the 15x8 rims and 33 12.5 if i'm going to encounter more trouble then they are worth.
