I've been reading that a few have put on 33s without any lift with little to no rubbing at all. I'd just like to see what that looks like on a 2 dr. Just one or 2 pics would be fine.
I'm sure sombody has a pic here somewhere, but again, with super slow dial-up I'd probably spend all day trying to find it...........ha!!!
Thanks.....

 

Anybody???

Hey Thanks......Have you had any rubbing problems at all?

 

Here is what mine looked like with 33's and no lift. Goodyear MT/rR's 285-75r-16 on stock steel rims. I did not have rub issues.



I have since put a 2" RE BB and ProComp Xtreme MT's 33's.

 

How are the Pro Comp Xtreme MTs on the road? Unfortunately my JK spends most of the time on the street and my 20-mile commute is 50/50 interstate/secondary roads. I like the MT look, but figure AT is the best way to go for ride comfort and treadlife.

 

Here is my 4-door ( i know you asked for a 2-door) before lift ........ I did have to put SpiderTrax wheel spacers to alleviate my rubbing problems with 33x 12.50x 17

I have been sick the last few days and didn't measure before the install. My best guess is around 3-4 inches more ground clearance. They will see dirt on Monday in Anza Borrego, coyote canyon

I went on a drive today. Here is my report.
On a scale of 1-10, 5 being stock 225/75/16 tires

Freeway:
Handling = 7
Power = 5
Passing power = 3
Noise = 4.5 with soft-top i could barely hear them

Street:
Handling = 6
Power = 5
entering traffic = 5
Noise = 5

My first impression is that overall the driving improved. Handling on the freeway greatly improved(that really surprised me). Power loss is barely noticeable until i went to pass a slow truck on the freeway. around town you couldn't even notice a loss in power. Noise isn't even an issue with a soft-top. i can't comment on a hard-top. I would recommend this size for anyone not wanting to do a gear change or lift. I will report MPG when I go through a few tanks. My guess is it wont change much. I drive slow. which helps.

 

Hey Thanks Guys....They all look pretty good for sure. I can't decide if I want to get the tires and wheels put on first and wait to do the 2.5" TF lift, or get the lift and then the tires/wheels.
Such a dilemma.....ha!!!
Hey 1leg....I just PM'd you!!!

 

Well mine is a 4dr but it gets you another look. I just put on Mickey Thompson MTZ's 285/75/16 (33x11.5x16). So far they are great. Suprising little road noise and handle great. Plus a very good aggressive looking tire. I havent gotten them off road yet, but the reviews off road have been great. As for rubbing, none at all. Even with the air dam in place I have about an inch at full turn.
