With a stock stance they will fit fine. A little tight up front but fine. I ran them on my 69

Re: 33s on a 2wd?

Would you be able to run 35s with a 2 in lift on the front?

Re: 33s on a 2wd?

I've seen factor 3/4 tons with the same size wheels front and back (33 x 12.50 x 16.5) and apparently they don't rub. I ran 32's in front on my 1 ton and have to "manipulate" the front fender corner on one side slightly.

Re: 33s on a 2wd?

I had tall skinny 7.50x16 Lt tires on my 67 2wd when I first got it. No problems but they would rub if you turned the steering all the way. I think they were about 31-32" diameter.

Re: 33s on a 2wd?

Having a ton of caster helps pull the wheel back in the opening to clear the front fender bottom. I have a 3" lift I had 285 75 15 and they rubbed. I kept wearing out the idler arm and upper balljoints. So I switched to 265 75 16 .
