Rim + tire Question
 

I have some stock rubicon rims on my Jeep. And I want to put some 33's
on them and want to know how wide of a tire I can put on them????? Any
help will be very helpful. Thanks Jamie

I do not believe you can fit 33's on the stock rim. The backspace isn't
right so the tire will hit the spring.
