So I know I should have thought this through a little more and it's probably redundant but will a 33x12.50x17 on the stock rubicon wheels fit the stock jk tire carrier? I've heard yea and no

He states in the original post he is running this on the original Rubi wheels so the Daystar bumpstops are not needed with that wheel backspacing.
True not needed but the stock bumpers may not support the additional weight and width of the tire. I was merely recommending running the Daystar Bumpstops. I personally have the LoD rear bumper with the Gen II tire carrier.

The stock bumper does not suppor the weight of the tire.
I'm guessing you meant the stock stops. Those don't support weight either. Yes the tire is wider but the stock stops will compress down or can be trimmed down as needed.

So will it fit without a spacer or relocation bracket needed to space the rim off of the stock carrier? I'm thinking of a 35x12.50 or a 37x12.50 on factory rims sometime soon and was thinking I would need a wheel spacer or a relocation bracket between the stock rim and the stock spare bracket. I will not be running a rear bumper and running EVO rear d ring mounts and EVO rear bumper facia. I can and probably will cut the 3rd brake light off and do a relocate onto the spare and eventually get an EVO carrier.

You need a minimum 1.25" wheel spacer and the longer daystar bump stops when you run 35" tires on stock wheels and keep the stock 3rd brake light. The 35" tire does not quite fit under the light (just fractions of an inch too tall to tuck under) and needs to be spaced out. My experience is based on the 315x70Rx17 Goodyear Duratrac's.
