Wanteding 33's for my Jeep

I didn't see a sub-forum for tires so here goes.
I currently have 31X10.5 R15 LT's on her a do want to go with something wider.
Can I put 33's on without doing a lift? Also, where are the best prices these days?
Thanks in advance.
 
33" would probably be too tall with no lift. Sounds like you need 31x12.50 which may not be available. You also need to consider wheel width when switching sizes, esp. wider tires. I wouldn't run 12.50's on any wheel less than 8" wide. There's a tire/wheel thread on here somewhere that may help you out.
 
Agreed. Without a lift you will have problems running 33s.
 
I talked to the guys at 4WD and they assured me it would be OK as long as I didn't go rock crawling! LOL! So, I bought four of them. I live in Florida, not a lot of rock canyon's around or rocks for that matter. If they rub? Looks like a lift is in the future! Woooo Hoooo!!!

They are 8" wheels.
 
You can make a 32 rub crossed up too. It all depends on how you drive and where you drive [emoji12]
 
if you bought them already Id say give them a try, but keep the 31s just in case and note who told you theyd be ok at the shop. FWIW, a 265x75x or 70x16 might have been a good choice too but youd need new wheels as well as tires. Pay attention to rubbing while turning and also going through dips and such, hopefully you wont have an issue with the fit and you have the umph to turn them, 5th gear may be a fond memory
 
Thanks for all the input. I think I need to step back and reconsider my options. I have canceled my order.
With that being said- I want a wider tire than the ones I'm running (10.5). If I stay with the 31's what are my options to go wider?
