I think you mean 325/60-18 tires (33x13.00). Sounds like a nice combo.

It will fit fine, but might rub when flexing and no lift due to the wide tires.

I have a 2 inch lift and 305/65-17's which are basically a 33x12.50 tire on 9 inch wide wheels with 4.5 inches of backspacing. You should be fine if the Monster's have the same BS as your tire will only be 20 mm wider than mine.

You should be fine. Buy the 18x9 -12mm offset Monsters. (4.5"BS). With your 2.5" lift these will fit like a glove.

If you are not already working with a Local Discount Tire location, let us know if we can help you with a set. We give JK-forum members $50.00 off their total instantly when they purchase any 5 tires for their jeep and shipping is FREE.

17" I think the look of more tire less rim looks better and probably saves you $$$ too.
