Hello everyone I’m new here, I have a Black 2008 JK & want to add 33” tires. Jeep is stock & this would be my first major modification. At current Jeep has Bridgestone Dualer 255/70R18 = 32x10.5 AT wheel size 18. Debating if adding a lift or level kit? I’m game for either since want to add an aggressiveness to Jeep with the tires. Any help & recommendations are truly appreciative. My avatar displays my Jeep, thanks!

Welcome! Really I would look local if you wanted 33'3... there are a lot of gladiator Rubicons and Jl's take off's - with near new 33's that sell with rims for 600-800 bucks for all 5. It would get you the tires you want, most have the tpms in them, and you would have the added benefit of 17 inch rims.

Welcome to JKF. And Sunnyside's advice is spot on. If you go with stock wheels, you may want to add quality wheel spacers: They will dramatically improve the stance of your rig and reduce potential rubbing in hard turns. If you plan to wheel, you may also want to add at least a couple inches of lift to avoid wheel rubbing. Even an inexpensive suspension spacer lift will do the trick (though not improve articulation).
