Here is my Crush. Ballistic Jester (17x9 w/ -12mm offset) and Wild Country MTX 285/70/17 (32.8x11.25 or so). No lift, complete stock suspension. Picking up the 5th tomorrow.

So the only real change is the third party rims with the offset...so I could probably keep my stock rims for a while with spacers?

there is a thread about it, just google it or something, BUT you can fit (supposedly) up to 33x12.5 with a 4.5" backspacing or less

Nice wheels on your crush, what is that colored ring inside the rim and is it red or painted to match the crush?

I am currently going down this road aswell .. My wheels are on back order ! ;( ... Awaiting they're arrival ... My tires are at the shop on standby... 285/70/r17 duratracs ... Guess I'll see if they fit .. I am also trying to avoid a lift for now because the driveshaft stories I've read on here with the 12s, figure I'll Just stay a little fella a little while & let everyone else figure out the perfect solution

As you mention wheeling though , I don't know if stuffing 33s will work with flexing ...I would assume rub ... On road I'm sure your fine .. Just offload may pose an issue ! But .... Ima newbie ! Listen to all these vets !!! They'll hook ya up

Never been a fan of wheel spacers. I've seen some nasty pictures from bad ones. That's NOT saying that they're bad, just not for me. I put Rubicon mud terrain take offs and called it a day. Drives great and perfect height for me. Here is my 2012 Sport S

So right now your just running factory rims?

Are those factory rims blacked out or aftermarket? They look really nice...I'm really picky about aesthetics and have a hard time finding rims I like

Yes sir, factory rims blacked out. I really like the tough, sharp and simplicity of the factory alloys.

I guess my next question is what is the widest tire I can pull off using the factory rims?
