2003 TJ Sahara with a 2" budget lift (spacers on top of all 4 springs)
If I install a 1" body lift kit will I be able to run 33x12.50x15/8" or....32x12.50x15/8" on steel rims without any rubbing on my
stock fenders?
-
yes ull be able to fit 33's but ul rub in the front when your turn so youll need wheel spacers to push the wheels outward to not have that rubbing .
if you have disconnects good chances youll rub at full flex but if you still have your sway bars on ull be fine

Thanks for the info Jeff. Seeing as I contributed$$ to your build on your
TJ. AKA (bought skid plate) does that mean I get to drive it at McLean
Creek next summer? If I can get 4 used 33x12.50x15 tires real cheap or
free to try out, I just may go that way. Cause as it stands right now,
no one will let me come out and play with my puney little 31"s.

New Years day run is open to everyone and all tire sizes. Make sure you hit that one up.
-
u can bring yours out and play with it all you want .. ill be the only one driving my toy as i have poored in more time and money then any other project i have had yet
and yes you should get some 33's ..
i read an article the other day about 4x4ing . and it was funny 5 years ago if you had 35's your jeep was huge
now
31's is not even considered a tire
33's should of just bought a civic
35's your truck is used to bring the kids to school
37's oh you might off road it a bit from time to time
39's - 44's now you have a truck
so weird how things have changed in so little time
-
I'm really tempted to build another flexy XJ on 31s and spank everyone's arse again!

If I can get 4 used 33x12.50x15 tires real cheap
I'll be throwing up my t24s on 15x8 rock crawlers as soon as my new shoes show up, maybe as early tomorrow night or saturday. They got the proper backspacing you'll need without spacers.

Binare let me know on the t24s..Thanks

OR:
31s - you can still have fun on many trails while keeping a vehicle streetable.
33 - with lockers and a decent setup will get you through most trails in Alberta. all while staying semi stock, and often daily drivable.
35s - you start realizing stock driveline is no good. and guys on 31s follow you everywhere anyway
37s - spend all your time and money upgrading your axles, breaking things, wrenching etc, only to realize with all that work you might as well go with bigger meats.. and you still wheel with guys on 33s
38s and up - now you've got a rig thats no fun to drive because everythings to easy, so you have to go in competitions. not to mention a tow rig, trailer. all this to go wheeling twice a year; often with............ guys on 33s.
yep. 40s are totally worth it. ::)

That was from an article I had rear I went something like that. I agree for Alberta trails u should but a civic and run that cheap on gas cheat on parts and 26 tires will they wil get u through everything
This year I'll be trying different provinces and maybe even a different country
