a 33x12.5x18 will fit stock, but would reccomend this just as a temporary solution until a lift goes on. You will likely get some rubbing on the air diffuser. Try a search, there are numerous stock JK's on here running that size stock. Good luck.

i think you would also have to get wheel spacers. the rear tires will probably rub on the frame and lower control arm.

You will need at least a 1" wheel spacer if you go with a 12.5" tire on the stock 18". I'm running the 1" Terraflex spacer with 35x12.5x18" on stock 18" Sahara wheel. This combo will work, but you would need a 3" for the 35".
