Default Big tires

Does anyone know if 33 inch tires 12.5 with 20inch rims will fit a 2008 rubicon without a lift

You'll have to trim a little! But I say do it!

It will be OK on road, but off you will need to do some trimming, or preferably a small lift if you plan on hitting the trails.

I ran like this when I first got my wheels but I had spacers. I didn't go off road until I got my first lift which was a 2.5bb and it still rubbed a little when I disconnected. You should be ok for a while.

I'd try asking the same question in a few more sub-forums just to be sure...
