I've been running 33x10.5x15 on my stock 15x7 Ranger wheels for about 15k miles with no issues. Jeep guys swear by a narrower wheel to help keep the bead from popping while offloading, so I figured it'd be fine. No problems so far.
The main reason I put 33's on is because I started daily driving my truck to work on I-95 for 45 miles each way, and I wanted to get my RPM's down as much as possible because traffic flows so fast and I felt like I was killing it running at such high RPM's for so long. It's a little slower to accelerate, but not bad. It'll run 90mph all day now. Still been averaging 17.5mpg. These tires are 14.2% larger than stock, so it's also keeping 14.2% less miles off my odometer . It's already at 234k, don't need to be hitting 300k too fast haha.
