Default 33x12.5 on Rubi rim?

So I am thinking of putting a 33x12.5 on my stock rubicon rims. This shouldn't be a problem right? Also will putting that wide of tire on the 7.5" wide stock rim make the tire wider or narrower? Thanks.

Plenty of people run 12.50's on stock rims without issue. The one problem you 'might' run into is that some shops will not mount wide tires on rims that are narrower than the mfg's suggested rim width range.

Also if someone has pictures of a 33x12.5 on the stock Rubi rim that would be great!

Here you go buddy Cooper STT 33-12.50 on stockers. I love the look the stock wheel gives the tire.

You will get a little rubbing at full turn. But that's about it.

No man I did not run spacers but all you need is like a 1/4 of an inch on each side and you will be stellar. I am actually running pro comps right now trying to figure out if I want to paint the stock wheels. But when I was running them I only had rubbage at full turn and that's about it.
