Do you have to go a lift if you move up to 33"'s ?

From what I've read on the forum. The simple answer is "no", but you could have some rubbing on the inside of the tire if you stick with the stock wheels. Most 33's are also wider. Aftermarket wheels with less back spacing moves the tire away from the suspension components and avoids the rubbing, lifted or not.

As stated before, the JK Sport comes stock with 225/75/16's. I put 285/75/16's ("33's") on the stock steelies and rub slightly on the lower control arms at full turn. However this is due to the width of the tires, not the height. Wheel spacers or aftermarket wheels will solve that problem.

I have no lift. The only rubbing I get is on the air dam only with the wheel a full turn. I have not had it off road yet bit I'm sure it would rub if I flexed up on something.

Default 32 Inch Tires

I went with a wider tire and yes it did rub until I put spacers on. This is due to the backspacing on the stock rims. My new tires measure 32", they are simply wider than stock.

I should have been more specific, i have a jk sport S

i didn't realize the S meant a change in tires...thought it was more interior trim stuff that was upgraded.

I just have the 1 3/4 inch Daystar Coil spacers on the front and rear, but flexed out , it does rub the inside of the rear fender wells... but its nothing bad, actually keeps them cleaner
