You need 1 1/2" spacers to stop the front tires rubbing on full turn and the back tires to get the clearance from the rear bar.

The 18's were an option on the 07's. It's standard on the 08's.

Are you sure about that britjk? I think I have seen people running this size tire on the 18's without a lift OR spacers.

If I'm not mistaken - 12.50 refers to the width. my 305 65 18's rubbed with a lift and without spacers. My tire is equivalent to a 34 1250. Hit me if I'm wrong.

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
... what is the proper PSI for running the 33x12.5 on the 18" sahara wheels

I just did that and it rubs even on street driving. But 1.5 inch rock trucks spacer come in tomorrow tires are Radar Renegade MT
