Default 2008 JK Sahara suspension question

Can someone tell me what the biggest tire I can run on stock suspension on 2008 Sahara 2 door with tow package a 3:73 gearing without doing a lift? I was thinking of running 15x8 Cragar soft 8's with 33/12.5/R15 and if I had to I would do a 2" BB lift. Any info or tips would be great.

you could run 35s if you fender chop... but 33s would work, may rub at full lock/articulation

Quick, before you get flamed:

Edit: 33's will fit, you might get some rubbing on stock wheels... not if you buy new rims with more backspacing (ie - 4.5" ish). Just search around, this question has been answered a ton.

i put on 33" KM2's on Pintlers, had them on for a day before lift, and when i was at full turn (well, not even full, but close) i was rubbbing on something, assume it was the Sway bar.... So be carefull... Through on a cheap BB to make sure your good...
