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.

Yea, I had about 2.5" of lift over stock FYI, and the rubbing is nothing that would cause problems, just couldnt fully lock. I vote throw them on, and add spacers if it rubs too much. Spacers are at most $200 for the full set, and you might can find them used on here.

Check out Discount Tire Direct. Shop the website, but call if you choose to order through them. 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.
