4/11/2024 0 Comments 33 inch tires actual sizeYou need to be prepared for the effort and expense Jeeps that perform well are neither cheap nor easy. Note tires significantly larger than stock will require re-gearing the axles to maintain performance and mileage. (Off road use is the only reason to consider tires larger than stock, IMO). It is necessary for Jeep suspensions with good ride and decent articulation for lits in the 5"+ range to prevent metal and tire damage off road. The rear TJ flair retrofit is the only good solution that I have found (excessively high, excessively stiff (read poor) lifts, body lifts or ugly body butchery will work but I cannot, in good conscience, call them good) that allows the use of 33s and 35s with reasonable lifts. I would second those that say stay away from long shackles (its a noob mistake that is frequently repeated in spite of experienced advise). The manual will usually provide information about recommended chain sizes based on tire dimensions. The 32s hit hard enough, off road, to bend sheet metal and chunk the tires and would rub, sometimes pretty hard, over speed bumps in town.ģ3s had no chance of not rubbing (use of a tape measure will verify this). To determine the right size of tire chains, you should refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual or the tire size indicated on the sidewall of your tires. If yuo have 2.73 gears are a little tall for that, with 3.31 it will work but it puts a larger strain on the transmission.įor my current Jeep I started with a, 85 Laredo, the largest tire that I could fit, on road with stock springs/suspension, was a no name 32 (note most tires measure smaller than the sidewall designation). if it hits the body then you either need to lift, or get sawzall. If you have 31's just look at it and add 1 inch you can use a block or whatever. I was able to modify the stock fenders and it does not look dumb. I hit mine when going over dips and rocking the jeep left/right until I cut out some body. You can pretty easily modify that to gain approx 1 inch. In the rear, its likely you will hit on the tub and need to bust out the sawzall on the body section closest to the rear bumper. If you are going offroad you will be rubbing other parts too but I am not exactly sure what. This is regardless of lift, so you will need some sort of wheel spacers or steering angle limiters. On mine (same tire size BFG km2) I needed wheel spacers to not rub the springs on full turn on the springs up front. On some web site it says 4 inches to clear 33's I disagree. Every suspension is a little different in regards to spring sag, and stiffness.
