Default Wheels and tires. (Sorry for asking)

I know it's probably the most over posted question even but no matter how much I google I can find a conclusive answer for the 2013. What is the largest tire is be able to put on a 17" rim with out lifting or modifying the fender flares on my 2013 Wrangler 2 door?

Are there any major drawbacks to larger tires with the exception of fuel economy hits?

Thanks in advance for the replies and once again, sorry for asking :p

Largest tire on stock JK? Here's your answer! - Jeep Wrangler Forum

If you're worried at all though, you could just get a teraflex leveling kit to ensure good fit for a 33.

Actually, TF leveling kit will accommodate 285/75/17 tires on stock moabs without wheel spacers very nicely.
