question....

i was looking these tires up and it was telling me that the tires are too heavy for the factory wheels. Anyone know anything about this? what exactly would happen?

Most 33's are only moderately heavier than 32's, and if the wheels can support the weight of the Jeep and the torque of the motor--tire weight is not the concern. Maybe the 33's would be wider causing some rubbing, especially at maximum turn. Also, larger tires require more torque to turn; that's why people re-gear. But I plan to get 33's and keep my stock gears. I bet you would be fine with the tires. Since 32's are stock on some models, 33's are only slightly different. My old four cylinder TJ turned 33's just fine when in low range.
