Canyons and 33 x 12.50's--Just double Checking
Searched and found a lot of great information on this "worn out" question but I guess I just want to make sure. After years of running aftermarket wheels with plenty of backspacing, I really want to go with the Canyon look. This is exact set up I want to run and I want to be 100% sure of no rubbing/problems.
33 12.50 MT's on Canyons with either Spidertrax 1.25 or RC 1.5 spacers (hub centric of something). Prefer Spidertrax....as long as 1.25 is enough.
Any issues with this set up (besides the fact of costing the same as a decent set of aftermarket wheels)? I found that most people ran 32 11.50's with this set up and I couldn't find any pictures of the 33 12.50 set up (not as much info either).
Thanks in advance for all the help

As long as you total backspacing is 4" or less you will be fine, I run 33x12.5s on aftermarket wheels with 4" of BS and have not rubbing at all. You will need at least 3" of combined lift as well or tube fenders to run them though.

I'm running 33x12.5 Pro Comp Mt's with the stock canyons and spidertrax 1.25" spacers, they work well together.

You will need spacers for 12.5's on the canyons. I just got my new 33x10.5's today put on them and it is damn close w/o spacers. With the spacers from RC you'll be fine. I wanted the 10.5's b/c i like the way they look and handle a little better on the street as mine does not see the trail that much anymore.

Canyons and 33 x 12.50's--Just double Checking
. The only thing I had to do was add a washer to my steering stops to keep 'em out of my front LCAs. Other than that they work great. Just enough room all the way around. Just got my 35s. Here are some poser pics breakin them in:
