Default 33 inch tires with no lift
Does anyone know if I can run 33 inch Goodyear wrangler SilentArmor's on my 2012 sport with no lift, will their be any fender rubbing while turning or going over bumps?

Considering factory tires equate to 32" you'll have no problem at all.

I'm running a 2012 Sport with MT Baja TTC 33"s on stock suspension with no rubbing. However I have only been in some mild offroading situations.

Not always true... If your running a 33x12.50 on stock rims, it might rub at full turn.. It's not so much the height being the issue, it's the width..

Probably true, I'm running 33X10.50's on a 17X9in wheel.

Your BS is most likely 4.5-5" and the stocks are 6.5" I believe and rims are 17x7.5 (on phone and can't scroll to see if he is running 17 or 18)...

A quick calculation puts that at a 33X10.5.

Shouldn't have a problem.
