    33” tire rim width

    I have a 1987 4x4 short bed with the optional aluminum wheels. I believe they are 7” wide. Will 33 x12 tires be safe to install on these rims? I believe 32x11 will fit for sure but I would like to go bigger. Stock tire size for this truck is 31x10. Thanks in advance!

    I have to replace the original tanks on my 1985 C10. Will the 1987 TBI tanks work with a carb? Gives me the option to have the tanks able to accept fuel injection if I ever decide to go that route. Seems like they should work??
