Default Question about 33s.

I'm running 255/75/r17s I want to upgrade to 33s and still run stock wheels(for now). I know everyone is going to say go with 35s but the loss in gas mileage is not something I can afford as of now. I would love to see pics of yalls 33s along with the actual brand model etc. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks

Search "show your 33's". You'll get like 130 pgs of 33's pics. . Enjoy.

I just threw on the stock Rubicon tires: BFG mud terrains KM and they look pretty good; no appreciable loss in MPG. Nice and quiet and the tread pattern looks WAY better than those car tires I had on my stock '12 sport. Only caveat is they're 32'', not 33''. Looks good though.

I just got these last week and I'm thrilled. Used the AEV ProCal to program the computer. Falken Rockey Mountain 285/70R17's on MB TKO's. No lift yet.

No pics available, sorry. But I'm running 275/70R18 Goodyear Duratracs, with only Spidertrax spacers. All good, zero issues. There will be a 2.5"-3.5" lift in the future but that's for ground clearance, not tire clearance.

Love those rims and the tires! I've been looking at that same combo but thinking of dropping to 16" rims. Been wondering how they would look, thanks for sharing.
Now just need my BFG km's to wear out.

I went 33s because I'm keeping my costs down. I won't need gears, tire carrier, or all the other things that go along with the bigger tires. At least for now while this is my DD.
