I have BF Goodrich AT's in 33x10.50r15's on my m1009 and I have no problems
with them rubbing. If you go with the 33x12.50r15's they will rub. blazers
came with optional 31" tires from the factory and my CUCV as it came from
the DRMO had 31's. I have seen 11.00 r16's on the CUCV trucks with no
problem's once again they are very narrow. The 11.00 r16's are 38" tall.
with the gearing in the m1009 I don not find a 33" tire to rob performance
much and it improves my hiway rpms considerable. hope this helps.
Cheers,
Erik
