introducing my 2008 Rescue green JK, further proof that 33's fit without a lift.
Before:
After--285-75r16 (33.1 x 11.5 x 16) MT MTZ Radial on 16" Crager soft 8
The wheels almost touch the caliper though even with a 16" wheel

Five inch backspacing and the wheels are 16x8"
Works out perfectly.. no need for spacers at all.
Only issue like I said is that the wheels came pretty darn close to hitting the calipers... most steel wheels are kinda in the same league as manufacturing differences in steel wheels are hit or miss.
They balanced up really well though.... no wobble at all on the highway or around town and I should be able to air down to about 16psi or less without too much issue.

Looks great!
You know whats funny... When I owned a TJ I had to spend hundreds even thousands to fit 33's with a four inch lift.
We can do it with our JK's right from the dealership. 
This is what happens on a JK with 4 inches of lift.

I had mine done. And the great thing is that even with 35's and 17's I still use the same PSI so the computer doenst give me the dash indicator.
