33-inch tires are the most popular upgrade size for trucks. They fill out the fender wells nicely, look aggressive, and usually fit with just a leveling kit. At American Fusion Wheels in Shawnee, KS, we install more 33s than any other size.
What Size Is "33 Inches"?
In metric: 285/70R17 or 295/70R17 (33.4"). In flotation sizing: 33x12.50R17 or 33x12.50R20. The actual tire is usually 32.5" to 33.2" tall depending on brand and load rating.
