    For my 265/70's i just wound an extra nut onto the studs to clear the door, not sure about larger diameter tyres but 33's should be fine.

    Mine has a 35mm body lift & can fit a 35" on the back.
    31" tyres fit ok as standard & 32" wouldnt be far off.

    take the bracket off the door and flip it upside down and put it back on should give a little more clearance not sure by how much though

    My Simex measured just over 33" and I could fit it on the standard wheel carrier. The bottom of the wheel actually sat on the step and gave it a bit more support. They where only 10.5" wide and cleared the door on standard offset rims.
    Cheers, David.
