I am running 33x11.5 without a lift and no rubbing issues at all. It will all depend on what tire width you go with and the backspacing of the wheels you are using. With stock rims you will have some more trouble unless you go with wheel spacers. A little more info would help you get a more solid answer. Are you using stock or aftermarket rims? What exact size tire? But in short, as long as its done right yes theyll fit great!

Man I'm slow today. What they said.

Stock Alloy rims have 6.25 inch backspacing. If the 33 inch tires are wider than you will need at least a 1 inch spidertrac spacer. If you are doing this to 4 tires then just get different rims as this is at least the cost of one.

If you go with a tire with less than 5 inch backspacing you should be fine if go to a 33X12X16.

If you go with 15" rims you need to be careful with the Brake Caliper touching the rim. Cragar soft 8 will fit since allot of folks are running these on their jeep.

Metric equivelant to what you are looking for is

285/75/16
