What is the width of a 33.12.50.16.

I know the 33 is slightly taller than my 235 85 16's but what will give me more width. Cheers :)

12.5 inches wide.  33 inches tall.  Plenty wider than a 235.

Are you sure it's 33x12.5x16 and not 15?
Don't want you ordering the tyres only to find they're an inch smaller than the rim dia'.  :wink:

I found 235 85 16 Machos to work well on road for a RRC. They cornered OK and were generally very polite. I don't think you'd be disappointed.

I fitted BFGs 285/75/16 with 33mm and a scorpion racing 2" lift, then de-carbon shocks. My motor handles amazing on and off road and i would recomend BFG m/t to anyone. :lol:
