33s fit fine!

After looking at the large amount of tire clearance I have and not being real happy with my freeway RPMs, I headed down to our friendly Discount Tire today for a set of 33x12.50s. The manager I was dealing with INSISTED that 33s would NOT fit my rig. "I had a Jeep with more lift than that, and 33s rubbed!" :bs:
After I repeatadly told him that with nearly 6" of lift they'd fit fine, he agreed to mount one "just to show me". :lecture: He was QUITE suprised to see that they indeed fit fine. :laugh:
The result is a new set of BFG TA/KO 33s that DON'T rub! (full-turns, stuffs OK in front) I'll need to bumpstop the rear a little until I feel like trimming, but the result is worth it. I didn't notice much power loss compared to the 32s I had on there, and I'm still running the 4:11s.
I like 'em! :yelclap:
 
If we all only had a dollar for every time somebody told us they had a jeep like ours or knew somebody that had one. Congrats on the upgrade. 4X4XFAR
 
yeah, there is always one of "Those guys".
 
so where's the pic? :eyes:
i'm going to switch my 32's out this weekend as well, keeping my fingers crossed the 33's will fit, well at least till i get home and beat on the fenders alittle......
 
yeah, some local discount tire guy told asked me why i wanted 33's and not 35's? he said he had the same jeep as me but with week axles (d30, d35), and furthered to tell me that he wheels hard with 35's all the time, and has never broke anything! he also told me that he ran stock gears, and everything was fine driving on the street!

You din't like the highway rpms with the 4.11's and 32's?? I don't mind them at 4.11 and 31's!!
In any case, I know what you mean about the fit thing and tire places. From one perspective I understand them not wanting to sell you too big of a tire so that you don't come back to them when something rips off, but on the other hand seeing some of the things they let out on the street I wonder why do they even say anything when we roll up in our jeeps :D
