I have a 99XJ with a RE 4.5 superflex lift i want to run 33" tires and minimal cutting if i run 33x10.5x15 would I need to cut i have 31x10.50x15 now and have no issues?
 
I ran 33-12.50-15's on 15x8 wheels with 3.75" of backspacing on my RC 4.5 for about 6 months without any rubbing issues at all. Now I run 35's on my RC 4.5 with Bushwacker flares, and they are on 10 inch wide wheels..

Unless you bumpstop like crazy(and then whats the point),they are going to rub.This is 6" of RE springs w/ 33x10.5's.Notice trimming in the front and still a dent.This is with LA's,shorts arms will be even worse.The rear is fully stuffed and rubbing also.I have 4.5" of bumpstop in it!

depends on your wheeling...for light to moderate wheeling you'll be ok with some fender trimming...you'll rub under full stuff, but otherwise should be fine... If you are a hardcore rock crawler, then you better go higher. I'm running 4.5" with 33x12.5s and I had to do a little fender trimming and raise up the stock flares. Only time I get rubbing is under full flex.
