Default 33" tires

I have a stock 07 jk with 32" tires (original) and am looking to replace them with 33" tires.
Will 33" tire fit my jk with no lift? any recomendations for tires? I was looking at the Cooper Discoverer S/T LT285/70R17 they are around $200 per tire so I am open to any suggestions, I really like the aggresive tread of MT but I don't think they are to practical as I only offroad occasionaly and am looking to get some miles out of them.
Thanks for any input

Common question.

Yes they will fit but they will rub against the airdam and possibly your swaybars.

You will need to get the recommended Spidertrax 1.5" spacers for JK to prevent this rub if you plan to keep your stock rims.

They are a very high quality spacer.

You can get them at northridge4x4.com for $99 a pair (or $200 for all 4)

I like the BFG-KM2's...I have them on my other vehicle and for a mud terrain tire, they have pretty good road manners....



If MT tires isnt your thing you can try Mickey Thompson ATZs...This what I currently plan on running, i like the thread design...



I am not sure on the price, they may be a little higher than the coopers you were looking at....Thanks..

No lift or spacers needed on stock rims....take off air dam....ultra remote possibility of rub...
