big tires on stock wheels
What's the biggest tire you can run on stock wheels with 3-4in lift? Please, no "only stock width tires on stock wheels answers". I'm planning on running 33-14.50-R15 tires in the back of my jeep with 33-12.50-R15 in front. I'm not concerned with the front, but I am concerned that with stock wheels the 14.50s will rub the springs/inner fender in back. I'm not opposed to trimming/cutting fenders, so that's not an issue. I'm really only concerned with the springs. Any input is appreciated.
P.S. I know running these tires on stock wheels will crown out the tire; this is a mostly off-road rig, so I'm not concerned with tire wear.

For a stock wheel of say 15x8, it is only recommended to run tires that are not bigger than 4" widers. So a 33x12.50x15 would be the widest you could go. You could might be able to squeeze them on the wheel but it would cause the tread to wear in the middle only and be a waste of tires.
