Default 33's with no lift
I own a 2011 JK Sport Unlimited and I'm looking to get some new wheels. Can I fit 33's without a lift? Any suggestions on what shoes to get are welcome too!

welcome to jk-forum. regarding your question, yeah, you can do it but, depending on what tire you run, you may find that you have some rubbing at a full turn and or are at a full flex.

I'm looking at some Pro Comp 7031's. I'm undecided on the tires. Looking at BF Mud Terrains, Duratracs, and Nitto Trail Grapplers.

I ran 285/75R16 Duratracs on wheels with 4.25" BS for a few weeks before I got my TF performance leveling kit. The tires measure right around 32" on the Jeep. Go for it, you wont regret it. Unless of course you decide you want 35s

Default The front air dam
Run 33's on mine for a while with not lift, had to remove the front air dam. Its useless anyway.
