Default nfg here - will this combo work?

wanting to purchase a 2008-2010 jeep 2 dr wrangler with a hard top.will the following combo work with no rubbing? also, i don't really care for spacers so i would prefer not to use them.

tereflex leveling kit
equivalent of a 33x10.5/17 tire
and stock rims with no spacers

also what is the metric equivalent of a 33x10.5/17 tire please?

thanks for your time

first off, welcome to jk-forum.

to answer your question, yeah, that'll work but, you will most likely still have some rubbing at a full turn if you don't run wheel spacers. you can correct this by adding some washers to your steer stops though. as far as the metirc equivalent of a 33 goes, 285/75r17 is pretty close.

you will need spacers, no way around it. I did the same thing, needed spacers.
No worries tho as they are perfectly safe.

The Teraflex site specficly mentions the backspacing requirements for their lifts and that requirement can only be achieved using aftermarket wheels or Stock wheels with spacers. ( the new rear swaybar end links will rub your wheels )
