Default Tire size

Using the stock rims that came with my 2007 JK-X, what is the widest tire I can go with without using spacers or a lift kit. I would like to go to a 32-33" tire, maybe just a 32 for now. Thanks for any help!!!

We tried to put 33x10.50's on stock wheels and had serious rubbing. Even 255 rubbed. We went with the 1-inch spacers on the X's to get 10.50 wide.

I had no problem with a 265/75/R16 on a stock 16" alloy rim before the lift. It still sits about 1/2 inch inside the flares no rubbing at all.

I just put 275 70 17s on my stock wheels and it fills it up nice.
they are 32.4" tall, i did add a 1" spacer because i like the wider stance.

I have 255/85R16 (33.3 x 10.3) on my stock AL X rims. The only rubbing I get is at full lock on the curve of my sway bar when it is disconnected and the sway bar is pulled up as high as it can go. I have had no rubbing anywhere else.

I am thinking about doing the same tires with no lift. Do you have any pictures?
