I can second that. I had 31x10.5s for a year before I moved up to 33x12.5s on 15x8 rims. When I wear out my current set of tires I may move up to 35s, but I'm undecided at this point whether I go with 35s or stick with 33s. 33s are a great tire for the Gen I SWB. I have plenty of room for 35s (could probably fit 37s), but I also have a 2" body lift, a 2" suspension lift, and regeared my diffs (expensive).



You can put on 33s without any lift at all. As mentioned, the only things required are:

- trim (or remove) the front bumper end-caps
- push the splash-shield at the front of the front wheelwell forward a smidge (no tools required...can easily be done with one hand)

Also as mentioned, with stock gearing and a 4-banger, you'll see a highway performance hit and your MPG will be affected too. Best thing you can do is make sure you carb is in tip-top shape.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I drove with 33s on for 2 years with the stock 4-banger brakes before upgrading to the V6 brakes. The difference is big. Yes, you can stop with 33s and your stock brakes, but it can be heart-stopping sometimes. With the V6 brakes stopping is a whole lot more like it should be. They work very well. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
