33x12.50 Translation
 

I hope someone can help. I looked it up on here and there were many different answers. What is the conversion from 33x12.50s into a xxx/xx/17? Any help would be appreciated

A: The largest tire size that the factory recommends is a 255/75R17 (which comes standard on Rubicon models) or a 32x10.50. However, there are many Jeep JK Wrangler owners who are currently running as big as 285/70R17 or 33x10.50's with little to no rubbing issues.

This is from the FAQ section in the modified section. :thumbsup:

^^That didn't answer his question.

A metric conversion for a 33x12.5r17 would be 315/65r17

You can google tire size conversion calculator. I entered 33x12.5x17 and it gave me the exact number of 318/64/17. I'm not sure what the closest standard size is to this but I hope this helps.

I believe the OP did say any help would be appreciated. The conversion to 285/70/17 would probably be a better fit without any rubbing issues.

285/70/17 = 32.7x11.2x17 (this is normally considered to be a 33" tire)

Not knowing what kind of wheels or back spacing he is running could make a difference, the 285/70/17 maybe a better fit than the 315/65/17. :wink:

I understand what you are saying...was just answering the question as it was asked.

I don't even know if they make a 315/65r17...but that would be the closest to 33x12.5

285/75R17

Which would be 33x11 not 12.5

Good luck !

I think it would be around 305/70/17
