I've got a wanted ad on craigslist for some 33's and a guy called and said he's got front tsl swampers 33x13.50r15 for front and for the back 33x14.50r15
would these work on my 15x8 rims without rubbing? debating whether wider on the back would look cool or not...opinions? 85 percent life left, he wants 700, said he paid 1300 for the set. Good deal?

a 14.50 is gonna look kinda funny on a 8" rim. If i was gonna run tires that wide I'd want 12" rims. Also with that much tire sticking out in the front it may rub on the fender during tight turns. Also they will rub front and rear during flex, unless bumpstopped right. No way those tires will stuff into the fender well.

Yeah I would def. stick with 12.50 wide... I was kind of worried about going that wide, but it works quite well... but I still rub just a bit on a tight turn... (without trimming, thus far)... and they stuff quite well... (now just to pick up some bumpstops, so I can not mess up anything)..

good thing you didnt... those 14.50 would have rubbed the leaf spring and youd have been SOL
