I got a trade offer for some 33s on 15" steelies and I'm running 32s on 17" aluminum wheels. I have a 2" lift and they clear fenders well
. What should I be doing to compare mine and his to see if his wheels and tires will work on my rig.
Just thinkin' about it.......

Oh, I gotcha! Find out what the backspacing and lug pattern is on them. That's what you need to know!
EDIT: Maybe I'm confused here... You want to trade your 17" wheels for 15" wheels?
yeah, but I was hoping it would work and that I would get the tires in the trade but it ain't gonna happen. some day, I'd like to switch to 15s so I get more volume for airing down.
You're right, 15" wheels would be much better for airing down, as well as for tire selection also. I think you'd be much happier with 15" wheels if you can get them someday.
Cragar steel wheels are pretty inexpensive, I think I got a set of 5 new from discount tire for around $220 a couple years ago. Just go online and find a major retailer (summit, jegs, etc) with the best price and they will price match. It'll cost local tax but save on shipping.
Your bolt pattern should be 5 on 4.5, and a 15x8 rim with 4" backspace would work really well with 32 or 33"s.
