What size 33” tire can I use on this set up without issues?

[Runner51761]

I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler unlimited. I have installed a Teraflex performance coil spring leveling kit. 2” lift in the front and 1” lift in the back.
I also installed Spidertrax 1.5 in. wheel spacers. I traded my stock rims and have a set of stock Rubicon rims with the BFG tires. Wanting to know what size 33 in. tire to get with the set up I have and have no rubbing issues. Driven mostly on the highway. I see 285/70R17 listed a lot. Will 295/70R17 work or will they be too much? My Jeep is a automatic and gear ratio is a 3.21. Thanks in advance for any input.

285/70R17 should fit perfect without rubbing. Mine has the same lift on it with 1.5” wheel spacers with 295/70R17 and they just barely rub under the right flex, but that will be remedied with flat fenders and different rock sliders next.

Also you might think about different gearing

Just my opinion (couldn’t resist) but your Jeep looks perfect the way you got it in this pic! My JKU is lifted w 35’s (I know, not the same as 33’s) and I’m considering going back to ‘almost stock’ with the same options you’ve got on yours. Really a gorgeous looking JKU you got

285's fill out the wheel well a bit more than stock, but I agree with @Threepointsix. With that modest boost, it's looking pretty good as it is. I'm afraid moving too big with your gears would get annoying after a while. Although, if you are in the plains, you may not notice it. As a point of reference, My last JK (2dr) had the same boost w/285 duratracs and 3.73 gears. It was "okay" in the hilly areas of Michigan I live in but it wasn't great. The '16 I have now has a 2.5" lift and 35's w/3.73's. For a 2dr, I like the look but I'm moving up to 4.56 gears soonish. Some of the hills - it's just a dog on them. When you look at the graphic above, you can see where I'm at now and feeling the pain and where you would be on with 3.21's. Just a comparison for you.

Welcome to the forum! Love the red

Thanks, you guy’s for all the information and compliments! Sounds like when the time comes I will
stick with the 285/70R17’s. Probably will try and find the lightest as far as tire weight in a all terrian
tire but try and find one that has somewhat of a aggressive tread? If there is one LOL, feel free to
weigh in on tires...Thanks again

I’d quickly recommend Goodyear Duratracs. You can’t go wrong with them.

And Duratracs aren't as heavy as some others

Absolutely.
