Ok, so I plan on running 33's later.
1.How does others out there perform?
2. I do understand as long as I have wheel spacers I shouldn't rub right?
3. Will I have to do anything special to run 33's, if so will this take away my comfort on road a huge difference or just a bit?
4. If I have to make changes for 33's, what will it be?

 

i dont belive any real mods are nessary to run 33's

 

All you need is proper wheel bs, if you plan on running disconnected off road you might want to add about .5" of bump stop as you can rub the fenders at full flex.

 

When I had 33's, I put on a Teraflex level kit for just a little bit of lift and better stance. I still rubbed on the front air dam, but you can trim that or take it off. You'll need wheel spacers, as you stated, or better offset wheels.

 

I ran a teraflex budget boost with the shock extensions and wheel spacers. It was cheap, had a great stance and didn't rub at all.

 

That's guys!!! This is all wonderful information, I'm just sucking it all in.. Thx again

 

Thanks for starting this thread! I had some of the same questions.

Cheers!

Tire width matters as much as diameter -- The stock 255-75-17 tires look like they have lots of clearance, but it's pretty minimal when the axles get crossed and hit the bump stops.

If you're going with 285-70-17, consider just adding a thin washer to both steering stops. This can prevent rubbing at full turn against the stops, but still lets the tire tuck under the stock fender at full articulation. Spacing the wheels out may cause the tires to hit the stock fenders at full articulation (with solutions like adding bump stops or cutting fenders). The washer does increase the turn radius slightly, but its also easier on the front u-joints. Pics of the steering stops and related info are in the link in my signature line below -- the washer trick worked for me.

 

+1 on Teraflex, helped my brother install Teraflex he got at 4Wheelonline.com for his JK and its smooth and comfortable on 33's. Easier if you decide for another build soon.
