TNT Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'm running 33x10.5's on 15x7 with 4" of backspacing with 3" of lift and cut fenders and flares on my rusty DD. Here's a pic Image Not Found Here are some old pics of my '95 flexed with 33x10.5 with 3.5" of lift with 11" travel shocks, and cut / raised flares. I could steer from lock to lock when flexed without any rubbing. Rear tire stuffed Front tire stuffed Filled gap on raised front flares It still has a fender inner liners 37" tires will fit the rear if you cut the fenders like this. Thats the same 33" tires shown above. Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front fender well as you can see what’s lift of them. That’s because the darn thing would not come off and the bottom of one side was not bolted to the bottom of the body and the front of the finder was not there so that explains the chop job up front and the rear will it need to happen soon or later. My plans where in the end to find a pair of baby swamper and let the wife wheel the crap out of it stock. Hec with that much wheel well opening I think it could of would have been a blast to beat on and that video of the guys beating the crap out of on XJ would of looked like a day at the park when I got done with that Jeep. And I am not saying I would go out and be plain dumb with it but I would of got the use out of it. Sorry for the hijack back to your trimming fenders I my self would say go 31’s and play it safe the guy I just sold 88 MJ to has 31x10.5 stock and no fender trimming and it does look great. And the wife’s MJ has 3” of lift and 31’s on it and it just look great so there is the real input go 31’s or even 32’s. Here is a pic of the wife’s truck on 31’s 3” of lift. O yeah one more thing it is 2wd. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrThunder Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 a buddy of mine does 37's on 4" so it can definately be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicofuentes0224 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 33x12.5 or 33x10.5? What would I have to do for 12.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 backspace the wheels less than stock for 12.5" to clearance the rear framerails and front control arms when turning, which means they won't tuck inside the fenders when stuffed. 10.5's will fit on stock wheels (5.25" backspacing) but 12.5's won't.

mjeff87 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 12.5's, on 3.75 backspaced wheels. Notice how much they stick out of the wheelwells.....but I'm lifted about 6" (but haven't bumpstopped in the rear yet :oops: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 12.5s are much harder to fit in our tiny little wheel wells. 10.5s on stock aluminum rims are the way I'd go if I were to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
