New tires- 33s/35s with no lift on stock Sport wheels?
 
Is it possible to put 33s on the stock rims of a 2012 Sport? What size of tire should I be looking for (other than saying 33")?
I'm looking at the ProComp Xtreme A/Ts, but I don't want to order the wrong size. Would I need anything else- back spacing or something?
I'll be switching out my current springs (14/54, I think) with some 19/59 ones. I was told I should be fine in terms of things not rubbing if I were to upgrade the tires. Is that true? Can I use 35s or would that require a lift?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I've got 285/70/17 bfg at and it's no problem

I'm on aev wheels so backspacing isn't an issue

Nitto 33's (285/70r17) are fine on stock wheels, minor rubbing on sway bar at full turn.

Would spacers help that, or a budget lift, perhaps?

If you go to a 285 70 r17 you will rub, I just did and full turn rubbed hard, I order spidertrax wheel spacers and problem solved. You could also get new wheels with 4.5 inch backspacing but will cost more

Thanks for the info! What size wheel spacers did you get?

whitejeepjk 05-19-2012 07:03 PM

1.5 inch are the proper size to get

A leveling kit should help as well.
