[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 427145, member: 18877"] 33s will not work with stock rims, especially if you are talking 33 12.5s won't even be able to put them back on the vehicle. Not enough backspacing. My 285 70 r17 which are a bit thinner didn't fit. I've got the Wildpeak on mine as the guy I use can't get BFGs and I'm happy with them. Use this site to give you an idea. [URL='https://tiresize.com/tires/Jeep/Wrangler-Unlimited/2014/Sahara/']Tiresize.com[/URL] it works awesome, and if you go into different sections you can compare two tire sizes with visuals. I think the green sizes are ones that fit without issue.. maybe. Not sure. Remember if you change tire size you change the speedometer, and more importantly, you change efficient shift points. Also, with a Sahara, I believe you got 18 inch wheels. If you catch the jeep upgrade bug, I highly suggest shifting to 17 inch wheels. More options, better offroading. Really, if you are looking for the least amount of hassle, and just want a more aggressive looking tire, stick with the size you have and get the KO2s [/QUOTE]
