planning to do a 6" rough country lift on my 2015 'hoe and rather than buy new wheels id rather use the oem wheels (20") and just slap some 33' tires on them and use some 2" spacers with them. i had rough country 2" spacers before on my avalanche and had no issues, just wanted to see if anyone has fitted 33x12.5's on oem wheels with spacers and a lift.

I personally hate wheel spacers they ride like shit and cause more wear. I'd just get aftermarket wheels and the hub bore ring to fit the wheels on the hub.

I think you could fit those with a leveling kit honestly. If you're doing a 6 inch lift might as well throw 35s on there

The use of wheel spacers is a personal preference. Some folks like and use them, while others do not. If you are going to use them, make sure that you buy a quality spacer product from a known and reputable supplier.

I ran 1.5" spacers on my Tahoe for a while and they've been on my brother's truck for years now. Personally, I wouldn't use larger than 2". Definitely get hub centric and from a reputable brand.

The 12.5 is where i think the problems are going not the 33s guess it depends on the offset too
