Help need wheels and tires today!
I'm currently running a stock setup but want to get new wheels and tires installed on my rig. I'm looking to get 33's or equivalent today and a lift in a month or two. My dilemma is the following: what size wheels (offset and back spacing) and tires can I run on my stock suspension which will still work with a 2.5" teraflex lift later. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can run 33's with the stock set up. I'm running 33's with the TF 2.5" Coil Lift. Check out the FAQs about Wheels & Tires, lots of good info: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...274#post211274.

I did exactly what other's are saying.
Stock set up with 33" BFG Mud.....then 2½ teraflex lift 5 months later. While it was stock, i had no issues.......other than gas mpg.

I read that and other threads but I really haven't found the answer I'm looking for. I've been to two shops in town and they said I couldn't run 33's on the stock suspension they said something about some rubbing in the back. I think he might of thought that I wanted to run my stock wheels but that's not the case. I want new wheels and tires that will have no backspacing issues when I lift it. Thanks for the help though... I might just have to wait a month or two and get it all done at the same time.

33
your best bet would be to get 285/75r16 or 285/70r17 on rims with 4.5 - 4.8 inches of backspacing. its the general consensus that there are no problems running this while stock and with a Tera 2.5 it looks amazing. that's what I'm doing anyways.

I have a set of 5 Jeep Hulk wheels for sale. 17"x7.5". When they were on my JK, I had to use spidertrax wheel spacers to keep them off of my swaybar links. I ended up keeping the spacers on after I put my new wheels on, cause I like the wider wheel base. If you are interested in the wheels send me a PM.
