Default 33" Tires ?'s

On a 1993 Mazda B2600I, 4wd, what are my options for getting 33 Maxxis Mudder Buckshots to fit without scrubbing really bad? What are the cheapest and most simple ways to?

they will fit just crank the torsion bars up a little not to much or the bolts will snap and What I did on mine was take a small pneumatic sawzall and cut the front fenders out where the flare is and on the inside of the well there is a metal bead dust smack that with a hammer flat the rears will fit fine looks good but look into a body lift from performance accessories like a 2 inch three is a little much looks killer.

You had to cut the front fenders that much, Will they fit without doing that?

I've got 33" Yokohama MT+'s on 15x8 rims. I have a 3" lift on my truck, and they fit and work great. No cutting, or cranking the torsion bars needed!

stock rims are only 6 inches wide
they recomend for 33x12.50r 15 a 10 inch rim
i wouldn't go less than an 8 the tire will balloon over the rim

you will not find instructions for a mazda b2600 but you can yahoo/google installing body lift
and get a general idea
the body bolts are metric thread
the only bolts i had trouble with were the 2 at the back of the cab the clamp holding the bolt(wierd looking head not a socket style) hadrotted away had to use vise-grips
for the box bolts i punched holes through the bed floor(swiss chesse anyway/and has a box liner)and used standard thread bolts and lock nuts
they may or may not tell you that
1 you will need to extend the shifter's(fixed by rethreading the shifter's to match shock extension bolts from mr gasket)
2 you need front bumper brackets(made my own 3x2x6 boxes bolted to the original frame holes and redrilled for the bumper brackets)
3 clutch hydralic line needs to have the mounting bracket on passengers side relocated lower on fender to relieve the stress on flex line(on mine 91)
4 the front brake lines need to be extended(mine needed new lines anyway just extended the mounting bracket in the wheelwell and made the new lines longer)

good luck
