Judging from this picture, the 33's are going to look tiny. I would calibrate the speedometer and give the 35's a chance. The gas savings between the two will be negligible, and not worth it to downsize imo

See that's what I was thinking cause all the pics ppl posted with the 33's they have the stock fenders so Im imagining what it would look like with out that extra lip on the fender and I think the 33's would look to small. Such a hard choice as I love my jeep but its starting to kill my wallet on gas money as a DD.

Stock flares u would look ok. The way your jeep is set up it would look off. I don't think you would like it IMHO

Oh and for the people who say it's a jeep who cares about mpgs. Mpg's really matters to some people. It all depends on how much u drive if your driving like me 120 miles a day then 2-4 mpg's make a huge difference in the pocket.

I have 33's

jeepfreakjk=== Also you have to take this into account is your front end with a different bumper and those lights. It will make a difference also with no air dam under it and being lifted.. Dirty air is what it is called. Even with going to a 33 the width of the tire will change it somewhat. Sorry to say

As mention before look into the Procal first even for changing down to 33".

Just the way it is for lifting and tire change.
