Well I've done extensive research and I think I'm going with the 33/12.50/15 Duratracs and 15x8 wheels with 3.75 backspacing and should be ok other than trimming the front air dam. It should clear the calipers.

 

actual height is 31. 8 on trail grapplers nitto they wete fine I swapped them over to my 12 rubicon
even better on this one pick of the sport and rubicon no lift no need for one realy

 

Cool. Is the backspacing 3.75" on your wheels?

 

bs is 4.5
on 8.5 " wheels the tires are 11,5 wide on 285 70- 16 to me they fit well not small and plenty of wheel well area and good stance too im very happy and wont be going with a lift or 35s
personaly I don't like the look of a lifted jeep I like it low yet built to handle off road stuff . I don't drop off boulders so theres not much of the need to raise the diff up a couple inches . be putting my ps mid bumper / skid on front soon ,its all ready to go on . prob no winch at this point its a solid bumper .

dura trac look good too from what ive seen in pics little less aggressive not E rated as toyo or nitto so sidewalls are thin but that = less weght too and with 321 gearing you might feel that and pull them better with less weight , I think but not sure that 12.5 wide tires on a 8 " wheel with 3.75 bs is about the same as 8.5 wheel with 4.5 bs as far as tires outside flair ? for 410 gearing in my rubicon the weight isn't a issue each tire with wheel is 85 lbs

 

Thanks for the info. I decided to get a Willys Wheeler instead so I won't need to do any tire or wheel upgrades for some time. I ordered it this morning

 

Congrats on your Willys! Nice looking rig.

 

What kind of cargo carrier is that mounted on the hitch? Where'd you get it?

 

Thanks! I ordered one Tuesday so I'm waiting for delivery in 4-6 weeks (hopefully).
