Re: Problems swapping rims/tires for the winter?
 
I just bought a nearly new, set of 5, 295 65 18 duratracs mounted on black procomp 7031 rims. These things are monsterous compared to the oem wheels. Definitely wouldn't want to run them in the winter, even though they are rated for it. They are just too wide for ice. I'm looking forward to spring, and installing these on the gecko JKU with a levelling kit.

If anything you would do the opposite, meaning stockers in the summer for better fuel economy, while 33's for the winter, better for snow, slush and other mess.
33's on 17 would be like 11.5 wide ?, This would be too much for winter driving, at least for the road you would like pizza cutters in order to get traction. They would be real bad in slush and wet snow.

Myself I went with narrow ones in 225/75R16, Blizzak DM-V1 on EOM wheels.
