Can I fit 33's on my stock wheels 75R17, without having to do wheel spacers etc. I am installing TF 2.5''BB. does anyone know of a good AT that will fit these wheels?

i am running 33's on my stock rims and needed wheel spacers as I was getting rubbing. I also had to cut some of the plastic air dam.

I have 285/75-16s (33 inches) on my stock wheels with no rubbing even at full steering lock. I don't really know what impact your 17 inch wheels would have.

I have read other poster who rubbed with 32's. That seems to imply that there is a lot of variability in our JK's since some came stock with 32's!

My advice would be to go ahead with it. If you rub then you could either add a spacer or do the steering stop mod. If I hadn't have given it a try I would have wasted hundreds of dollars on wheels I didn't like as well as stock. If I had been wrong I could have dealt with it with the spacers or steering mod.

Good luck! Keep us posted how it goes for you.
