Default Traded in my lifted JKU for A Rubicon Hard Rock X edition.

Hi Boys quick question, I trade in my JK and now I have my 33 inch Duratracs with wheels of 4.5 backspace and a -12 offset.
I would like to put them on my Rubicon with no lift will this work?
Any of you guys running this set-up?
I do not wheel it except for the hunting trips and camping.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.

You'll be fine. I ran 35's with no lift for a month. 33's won't be an issue.

Thanks
Even though they will stick out past the fenders.
Great I guess I will be putting them on this weekend.

No problem. My wheels are a 4.5 bs as well. They stick out just a little. You might rub in some random articulation on the trails but not enough to worry.

here is my update,I tried my wheels on and they stick out too much past the fenders.
It is more pronounced since I do not have a lift.
If I put on wheels that have a 5.5 backspace with a +12 offset and keep my 33 inch tires with no lift will this work?
