But when I bought my '12 Rubi I got talked into 33's because of gas mileage.

I sat around for 7 months staring at my Jeep thinking that it just didn't look right. I finally decided that the the 33's were the problem,,,,,, and 35's were the answer. So much happier after putting 35's on this weekend.

What's the actual size here? What size wheel spacers? I just installed a 2" lift on my 4DR yesterday and I'm looking at 33" or 35" shoes.

Sgtkersh, despite having 35x12.50 written on the side of tire they are really 34.5x12 Fierce Attitude M/Ts. The wheel spacers are Spidertrax 1.5". The Fierce Attitudes M/Ts I have found to be a lot quieter on the road compared to the Cooper STTs that I took off and when I had them on my 05 Rubi I found them to be great in the mud (not many rocks where I live).
