I ran it just fine with aftermarket rims (different offset).
There are several threads out there talking about this.
I believe the consensus is that aftermarket rims=just fine(depending on offset), stock rims=needs spacers to keep it from rubbing.

I see you ended up installing the teraflex 2.5"bb. Any problems with the kit installed?

This is mine with 285/75R16 ProComp All-Terrain, ~33" give-or-take a smidge...

The tires are ProComp Rock Crawler wheels, 16x8 w/4.25 backspacing I think.

No lift or front spacers, I take it on dirt/logging roads but save the harder trails for my XJ.

Absolutely no problems what so ever!
It rides great, performs well and has a really nice stance. In my opinion, the 2.5" lift is perfect for 33's.

Many people have had zero issues with the 2.5 BB without adj track bars. I've been running mine for 4000 miles with zero issues and no irregular tire wear.
