ok, so apparently i'm being forced (no, seriously, forced) to go ahead and put my 33's on my jeep since the spare i have on it apparently does not belong to me anymore without me knowing about it...

has anyone ever mounted 33x12.5's on stock wheels without using spacers? i'm out of project money at this point so i cant afford to buy wheels at this point.

How much time do you have to get this done?

monday. i had an old set of junk chrome wheels i had given to a friend of mine to put on his ranger because he needed a set of 16's to mount some free tires he had got on. he got rid of the ranger and put his old junk wheels/tires back on and gave the 16's back to me...

well i needed a wheel to throw on so i could drive my jeep home, so i grabbed one of them from my rbothers shop where i was storing them and apparently somewhere between getting them back from the guy and picking that wheel up, the guy i had given them to gave them to someone else....now that guy has them sold and needs them monday morning...

long story short, i got SHAFTED without a drop of lube. kind of like when the 265/75-16 buckshot mudders i had got sold, the 215/60-15 tires i had for my mustang got sold, and my 33" swampers got given away.....now i'm left with a set of no name 33's that only 3 match and one of them needs to be patched before i can even have them mounted...


dang, after typing all that out i'm almost tempted to just try to get my buckshots back..

What size tire do you need? I have some that came off of my 89 trail rig that are just sitting in the driveway on the stock rims. Not sure of the exact size, but they are close to stock street tires.

I have the same tires on my 90 stock wheels I has to put a 3/8 spacer on .

235/75-15 is what the other 3 are that are on it. 130 miles would be a heck of a drive though

That would be a Sunday pleasure drive to me. I drove close to 500 last night, 900 today, and still have almost 400 more to go tommorow before I get home. If you want one I got it.

i'll see what happens over the weekend and let you know.

Well I will make it home tommorow late in the afternoon and will right back out on the road on Tuesday.

I tried running 33s on stock rims without spacers and the side lugs rubbed on my leaf springs but I was running Swamper TSLs. I had to run a 1.5 inch spacer to clear and I still rubbed the control arms when turning.
