33" tire question

[JLSilerJK]

Discount Tire Westmont was a huge help! Gave many reasons why I could/couldnt and gave first hand experience (he's a Jeeper heading to Moab in a week!) I'm gonna wait and do it right!

Everyone posting in the thread is right. It could be done but it has more negatives than positives... Thanks guys

your talking about a 33x12.50 right? The 275 will be decently more narrow than that.
Still may need a spacer tho...

Guy here at work runs 275's on his JKU no lift. He had to get wheel spacers.

If you're going to run 33's stock you will need wheel spacers or purchase wheels with less back spacing. Not sure how you want to step through your build but this is what I did. I purchased 33's and new wheels. Before I had the money set aside for my lift. For a short term alternative lift I spent like $40 on some 3/4 daystar pucks. 6mo later I installed the lift I was wanting and wished I had 35's ever since.
