Tire size question
Looking to put on some 33's, but can't decide on the width. I don't want them to stick out too much, but would anything less than a 12.50 look too narrow. I'm probably going with a set of 17x9 mamba mr1's. Any input is appreciated.

I am currently looking also. Check out the km2 in 285/75/17 it's about a 34x11.5. Just looked it up its 33.8x11.3. There are a few other makers that have that size.

Here's my buddy Tyree's 2012 Sahara (forum member: Tyreelp)
2.5" Skyjacker sport lift and 3/4" Daystar coil spacers
1.75" Rough Country wheel spacers
285/70R17 Toyo or Nitto tires (can't remember which brand but it's one of them two)
His is in the back, my JKU is up front but it's a god angle at his tires
Hope this helps with a visual of those tires and the setup he has.

That setup looks good. That's a size that may be harder to find though. I like nittos, but I heard they are pretty heavy. I definitely want an A/T tire because my jeep is a daily driver and the nittos seem to be priced the best. Hmmm

My wheel spacers haven't come in yet so I'm driving with these tires on stock rims. I get light rubbing at full turn, but other than that they're fine. Haven't got a chance to test the flex yet because of shitty weather but there appears to be enough room. Without wheel spacers they aren't sticking out past my fenders but do have a nice look to them, with the spacers I'll probably be about even with the edge of my fenders.
Overall, I'm happy with these tires even though they're more for a heavy truck, I definitely recommend you check em out. I got mine through TreadDepot who is a vendor here. I ordered them on a Monday afternoon and they arrived at my house on Thursday morning.

It really depends on your BS and wheel offset which will determine how much the wheel/tire will stick outside or inside the fenders. here are my 295/70/17 Nitto Trail Grapplers (mounted they are a true 33" tire). Wheels are 4.5" BS with -12 offset. They look awesome IMO and are great on the trail. However, they are a heavy tire. Somewhere between 92-94 lbs mounted on my xd addicts.
