FYI though rough country has black D Windows with 3.75" BS right now for $25 a piece. I got 4 at $153 shipped. You have to call to get that price.

Dont do it. Even if they do fit, the sharp metal edges of the cut fenders might slice your lugs.

That said, I would probably do it too.


What size lift are you getting?

nice tires. they are wide, so yeah, you will definitely rub, especially if you have stock control arms.

with that said, 13.5 wide tires require a 10 inch wide rim.

don't run them till you're ready, you will cut the treads up and your tires will look like chit. just my opinion.

these are the TSL bias too I believe. There more than the radials. I dont think they even make a 33x13.5 in a radial.

Have you put the tire nest to your jeep yet? I did with my 33's and there is now way they would have fit without any modification.

I don't think you should do it til you get your lift. You're gona slice up those nice lugs. I've seen it happen on those 33x13s.

I wouldn't use those for just driving to work, you're gunna burn them up quick, it'd be a huge waste.

Plus, it's not so much trimming the fender that is an issue, that is easy. The issue is rubbing your LCA and stuff at full lock, and believe me, you will run, I rub with 30's at stock height...

Dont do it. I had 33x10.5 tsl's and when i put them on my xj with only 3" lift even with backspaced rims same as what your getting, they rubbed pretty bad not even at full lock. No lift would be a nightmare.
