John,

Put a 2" Body Lift on that bad-boy...you'll have fender clearance. :)

The 33X9.5X15 would have rubbed on the frame a little less at full lock
and given just a little more room in the fender when turning. But, they
are more expensive and would have netted me a smaller contact patch. Not
what you want either on or off road. The only place I've heard that
narrow tires do better than wide is when driving through snow on the
road. The narrow tire lets you get down to the ground instead of driving
on top of the snow. I've never lived in snow country so I can't verify
this is true.
