My tires are 285/17R16, I will have to check the rim size.

A good 9" wide rim is nearly perfect for the 35x12.5 16's.. check with my chevy i was able to run 37's with a 4" lift....

I'm not sure where to check for my rim width.. Or is there an equation to find the width? Or should I just measure from one end to the other with a tape measure and use that as my width? Lol, idkk! But I'm pretty sure I don't have a 9" width rim.

measure through your wheel and subtract an inch. that will get you pretty damn close. inside bead to inside bead is where you measure.

12.5's will work fine on them, my 15.5's are on 16x10 rims and are as flat as can be no crown at all.

Should I just go with 33's ?! That'll still give me a wider stance right ?!
