Let me know how they fit and if you get any rubbing.
At least now on the Pro Comp Alloy website, they show the 5x5 bolt pattern in the 7089s. Hopefully that means they will start making and shipping them soon!!:sad: For now I can just go stare at my tires!

i would still get the 33". i like the way they look with the jeep. even my wife said the stock tires look to small. however i am going to go with a 2" lift because i think there will be some rubbing issues offroad. onroad they are fine so far.

Are these 33's with no lift? Any problems now that you've driving on them for a while? Still feel the same way.

pretty extreme.

Are you rubbing on the plastic wheel well? Does it cause any damage?

LOL..no kidding. That's why I'm definately getting a lift. Looked like it was making contact on the lower front part of the wheel well. No damage.
