33x12.50's on Sahara no lift and no rub?
33x12.50's on Sahara, with no lift, and no rubbing when off-road?
Hello folks, wondering if this is possible with correct new wheels.
My new totally stock Sahara is going to have to be an on-going project : Lift, bumpers, gears, bigger tires etc, etc, etc, over time.
For now I need it to be a DD and also get me in and out of some hard to get to hunting and fishing spots.
First thing on my list are some real mud tires (and I want the 12.50 width). I'll lift it later. Any advice?
Here's what I'm thinking, please tell me where I'm going wrong. I really am not sure about off-sets and back-space. Rather not use wheel spacers if possible (but will to put off lift $ for now).
33x12.50R15
15x8, 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern
Backspace = 3.75 in.
Hub Centric = No
Offset = -19mm
Will this wheels/tires set-up do what I'm looking for?
TIA

nthinuf, is this the answer to my question?
Q: What back spacing will I need on my wheels in order to clear 12.50 wide tires?
A: I would recommend that you do not exceed 4.75" of back spacing and even at that, you may still have some minor rubbing up front at a full turn. Also, I would recommend that you do not go any less than 3.75" as anything less would cause your tires to stick out very far past the fender flares. Any back spacing within this range should work out great.
The answer appears to be yes. Thanks! Now just wondering about this part of the wheel specs that I'm thinking about getting:
Hub Centric = No
Offset = -19mm
Not sure what this does or doesn't mean, but I can't afford the $ to mess this up haha. Again, thanks in advance for any insight.
Edit: thx! This is what I was looking for. Don't know how I missed that. https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...t=17449&page=2
Although still not sure if hub centric no or yes is a good thing?
