Yeah, make sure you bump stop. I am running 33's on 4.5" with trimmed fenders and I still rub bad. I need to get some hockey pucks stacked in there to limit my up travel a bit.

you guys missed the key word in there
not possible, unless you add bumpstops until you have no more uptravel

If he wants to wheel he is going to have to trim. Even after the 2 extra inches.

the wheel well is only about 31.5" front to back, so if you exceed that and have ANY uptravel, you'll start rubbing.
why not? if you dont want to trim stick with 31's

Bushwackers are cut out fender flares..... you will trim if you put them on... plus they look uber goofy with anything less than 33's and at that it still looks better with 35's.

33x10.5, trimmed fenders on a 4 1/2" lift and you rub? With 5" back spaced Canyons even. You must flex like a mad man to rub.

You can run 33s stock, just get out the sawz all
Dude, I have 32x11.5" tires and a 4.5" lift with spacers up front and I still rub my trimmed fenders pretty bad. Only bumpstops up front are the ones from RE, I have to stack some pucks as well.

X2, here is 4.5" with 33's 3.75bs rims and trimming
back tire was just touching in the pics (measuring for shocks, not just posing for posing sake!)
simply trimming the sheet metal is one thing, don't forget to trim/cut n bend the pinch seam area inside the wheel well. Sheet metal will bend/disform, that pinch seam will eat your tire.
A nicely done trim can look just as good as stock, you can even move the flares up to look stock. I got my 33's when I only had 3.5" of lift.

I trimmed for 33s on a 4.5" lift just like that white XJ and then let the tires clearance/fold up the rest of the lip so it cleared, then I bumpstopped a tiny bit more.

3" lift and 31"s and i had to trim. and i plan to trim another 1" off when i shove 33"s in there.
dont want to trim? 4.5" 31"s is the combo, but its ugly.
