Default 33's on stock rims?

i have 6.5" lift with cut up fenders. just wondering if anyone has ran on 33's 12.5w on stock xj rims with no or minimum rubbing problem? like rubbing on the coil or anything. or am i needing rims with a bit of offset?

Run your tire pressure @ 30 instead of 35 and you will be happy. Plus you can air down to 15psi and dont have to worry about popping it off the bead with the skinner wheels. I run 33X12.50X15's on 15X8 wheels and love it.

i wouldn't run 12.5s on 7 inch rims. just my opinion. they may crown and you'll get uneven wear in the center of the tires.

Yeah 8" is probably the smallest width you want to run 33s
