HOrnbrod Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Anyone running them of know of anyone running them on an MJ?
HOrnbrod Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 Same exact width as I have now and exactly 2" taller than the 31s I'm running now. My calibrated eyeball says there's plenty of room for that height difference. But haven't calibrated it in awhile............
Jeep Driver Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 My 285/60/18 is close to your desired size, I rub. Will be ordering Bushwackers in the next week, waiting for sale. Last thing I wanted to do is cut.
PIKE Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I have been running them for years. They are mounted on the stock rims and I have 4.5" of lift. Also changed my gearing to 4.56. Very happy.

Any pics? I'm at 3" lift, so :dunno: . That's precisely why I got the ACOS.......3" up to 4" and I still rub. I'm a little wider and I'm not on stock wheels......but.........
PIKE Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Would love to send you some pics, but I am in New Mexico and my mj is in Washington. Your going to get rubbing on your lower control arms. I first put the 33s on when I had about 3" lift. It works but its tight. I then went with Rubicon 4.5 springs, also there upper and lower control arms. This set up works great for me. I don't hard core wheel with it though. They also make a 33-9.5-33 and that's what I have for a spare.
HOrnbrod Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 Well I do have the WJ curved LCAs, so that would help. No offroad either. 33-9.5-33?
PIKE Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 33-9.5-33 is a Pizza cutter. Don't think you would be happy for main tires as far as looks go, but tucks up nice for the spare. Are you on stock offset wheels? Stock offset will rub on control arms , less will rub on fenders. You should be fine with your 4.10 gears. I had the 33s with the stock 3.07 gears at first. What a dog, didn't even use 5th on the highway. Love the way the 33.10.5s look though. I get a lot of compliments when I go out.
HOrnbrod Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 Yes, stock offset 7" wide Jeep turbine wheels. I think the 33x10.5x15's will fit. They are the same 10.5 width as my 31s so no control arm rub should happen, and the 2" difference in tire height (30.7" vs. 32.7") looks like it won't be a problem all around the circumference of the tires. Plus I have 1.25 spacers on the rear. Thanks for your info Pike. If anyone has any more info as to why these won't fit, let me know. Open to all info. :cheers:
Knucklehead97 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I would think that the tire being taller would also factor in on possible rubbing of the LCA's? But thats just me, I'm still on 30's so I can't say much lol.
HOrnbrod Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 Agree. No worries with the WJ LCAs, but the stock UCAs could be close. If only someone made a 32x10.5x15 tire............ And cutting anything for clearance is not an option. :yes:
AeroNautical Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Those exact tires with SOA 8.25 rear and 5.5 front:
HOrnbrod Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 Thanks PFC - exactly what I wanted to see. Those meats look great. You are roughly 2.5" higher than I, so it would be a tight squeeze in the wheel wells for moi.
Pete M Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 one of the offroad mags did 33x9.5s or 10.5s on a ZJ with a 3" lift a couple years back. I seem to remember they extended the bump stops a bit. it is only 1" more radius than you have now. how hard can it be? :D
HOrnbrod Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 Zackly Pete. What I've been thinking and figuring all along. :thumbsup:
A-man930 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I'll be replacing my 32 x 11.5 with exactly these tires . I hope they don't look dumb being so skinny and all... But yea my fenders are cut (a lot) and I'm not on stock wheels. Every time I start considering a different tire (besides the BFG T/A KOs) I just keep coming back to it. C load range, 15" rim, with that sweet tread design is hard to beat.
Incommando Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Hornbrod 265/75/16 is 32x10.5 but you would need 16" rims. I used Kj rims
Jeep Driver Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 A 10.50 should be on a 8" wheel, not a 7" wheel. Will it fit? sure. 10.50 section width should give you a little less than 9" of tread. To get the tread flat you'll need to run about 28lbs pressure on a 7" wheel. (with your sidewall all sucked in like a doughnut) A 33" tire on a 15" wheel has a tall sidewall. When you under inflate, the wheel moves laterally within the tire, back and forth. Performance suffers. Specifically why I chose a 60 sidewall. You guys who go hick with your MJ/XJ.....crawlers......could, for obvious reasons, care less about overall performance.
HOrnbrod Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 A 10.50 should be on a 8" wheel, not a 7" wheel. Wrong. The recommended wheel width spec for a 10.50 tire is 7"-9". Look it up. :yes:
shelbyluvv Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 The 10.50s will be fine on the 7" wheels. You already have spacers in the rear and they should easily clear the frame rails. You may have some rubbing issues up front on the edge of the flares when hitting a bump and turning.
Incommando Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Honestly people who believe in book learning like it is the only gospel can be a bit preachy. And as for overall performance that is your opinion. Some Felix Ungers micrometer their eggs in the morning because only one size is their version of "right". Anyway it is better to be a hick than a... Crap. Can't remember. Sounds like hick but was vaguely anatomical. :)

Rockfrog Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I run my 35x12.50R15's on my XJ on 15x7 Ultra wheels ... Performance is just fine, both on and off road, although I do realize I'm not in a Ferrari. And they have held the bead as low as 5psi (actually had one burp down to 2psi before, that got close) although I generally run 10psi. Old school poor man's beadlocks, as hick as hick can be I guess.
