want 33"s..... some help pls
hey guys
kinda new to this. I have a '16 Unlimited Black Bear. have tried to keep it mostly stock, as it is my family hauler. buuut, kids getting a little older, so they can climb better ;) just finished installing the lift/leveling kit from Quadratec ( 2" front / 1" rear) to make room for new tires, and want to go to a 33" tire. my questions are re the backspacing and if I can utilize the stock rim? and how wide can I go w/ the stock rim and not get rubbing? are aftermarket rims my only option? where's the best place to go? tirerack? thanks |
Local tire store if you have one you trust. Discount Tire is usually fair on pricing and have good service. 33's might rub, might not on your sway bar. MY 33's rubbed at first then not at once they wore down a little bit. You can either buy spacers (spidertrax, tereflex, etc) or get rims with ~4.5" backspace. If you like the look of stock but need the backspace check out quadratec's stuff, they have a lot that are stock look alike's but with better backspace for bigger tires.

I put LT285/70/17's on my 17 Sport S 2Dr. They rubbed pretty bad on the swaybar with stock suspension. But when I added 2.5" to the front with the swaybar links from the rear the rub was completely eliminated. Stock wheels and no spacers.

Free shipping, forum discount, and the last few times I bought they had multi-tire and multi-wheel discounts as well. And if you have a local Discount Tire, they may offer the same discounts if you ask. And if not, they pricematch. |
