33" x 15's
I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on 33x12.5x15's (with MB 72"s) and want to know what tire has the closest actual measurement to 33"? Alslo From what I read 15" wheels will fit with out rub correct? Thanks.

Actual tire sizes vary the closest estimations for actual size can be found on tire manufacturer's websites in their sizes and specs charts. That said, don't worry too much about the actual diameter of your tires if you want to run a 33" tire, choose one that fits your driving style and driving conditions. This is more important than worrying about relatively small differences in size from one tire to another within a particular size.
Yes, the MB72 and other alloy wheels will fit your JK without hitting your brake calipers.

If you are looking for a true 33" tire mounted with the weight of the Jeep at street pressure you may want to look at 35" listed tires. For instance, my 35x12.50R15 BFG KM2's measure about 33.5" mounted. They're light, quiet, look aggressive and are reasonably cheap. They also handle rocks and mud well.

Just placed an order for 33x12.5R15 falken Rocky Mountains and MB 72s in black. Couldn't handle looking at those 16" stockers any more. Can't wait to get them on the JK!
