Has anyone ran 5.13 gears , 33” tires on a 5 speed?

Currently running 5.13 gears and 35” tires but have been considering going back to 33 inch tires. Obviously the revs will be higher, but was curious if anyone here has been running that set up on a five speed manual and what your cruising RPMs are at 65mph. Thanks - also could too much torque be an issue?

You can just run it through the grimm jeeper's gear calculator and get quite precise numbers for yourself. It's a safe bet your 33" tires will have an actual diameter around 32.6" and a rolling diameter slightly smaller. Quick back of the napkin says ~2700 rpm at 65mph.

Gorilla is pretty spot on from what I saw on the GJ website tables.

When comparing 34.5" to 32.5" tires, add about 160 RPMs at your current 65 mph readings, and add about 170 RPMs at 70 mph.

Practically speaking, it's not a significant difference.
