Yep, Should Work fine as long as the tires aren't wider than 12.5"

equivalent to a 33"?

275/70/18 will give you a 33" overall diameter. I wouldn't go wider than that on the stock 7.5" wide wheels.

You're fine. I would suggest you go with a hub centric spacer like Spidertrax as opposed to a lug centric spacer. I'm running a Tera BB w/ Toyo Open Country M/T's 33x12.5 18R and Spidertrax spacers

Careful of the tire extending past the wheel well as in Mass you fail inspection. I cannot use spacer without sticking out if I upgrade width of tire. I run the 255/75/17 right now and I'm playing around on getting someone's 33" after they move up to 35". Used market is just weak at this point and so are funds as I've just order 1000 bucks in mods.

Default Stock Rubi Wheels with 35's??

Hi I have a Rubi Unlimited on order and want to install a lift and keep the stock wheels with 35's I like the look and I'm not a fan of the after market rims. I think the tire size would be...(305 70r 18)? , can you tell me what I would have to do? Lift size spacers etc.??
Thanks Again..Rick
