Default how do 33/12.50 18 fit on stock sahara wheels

how do 33/12.50 18 fit on stock sahara wheels. what is the width of our stock wheels. i like the look of the mud grapplers on the stock wheels. im think i changed my mind about getting aftermarket 17's with 33's.

Stock wheels are 7.5" and 33x12.50's will work/look fine on them - nice tight bead is actually great for airing down.

Our stock RUBIE rims are 17's, are the Sahara's 18's??? Cause when I get my 35's I am selling the 32's to my buddy who is getting a Sahara.

ya dont go down below 15 to 20 psi or they will pop off.
i have seen 7.5 with 12.5 before pop off when airing down to much
your flex on the side walls can and will pop off....
but they do fit nicely when aired up properly
just watch your airing down and flexing the side walls on rocks

Also 18s were a free upgrade for the Sahara's on the 07s
not sure about the 08s

Sahara's come standard with 17" tires. However, it was a cheap $100 upgrade from the 17's to 18's, so most came with the 18's.
