Factory rubicon wheels with 33s?

I have a 2.5 OME lift and no body lift. What will happen if I run 33s on the factory rubi wheels? Rubbing? Or will they fit. Thanks for the info.

They might rub a little on tight turns and fully flexed....simple solution though. Spidertrax Wheel Spacers.

Thanks for the info. I just really like the factory wheels and don't want to upgrade right now.

Any idea how much backspacing I need for that setup?

At least 4.75" in back spacing. The factory wheels are 6.25" and if you add wheel spacers with 1.50" that will give you enough clearance to run a ~11-12.5" wide tires...
