Those tires you have are tsl ltb's. which just so happens to be a badass tire. They dont make any of the ltb's in radial. Heavy metal had 33 on his rig at stock height. I know you can fit them in the front with a good bit of trimming. but even with 3.75 bs in your rims they would most likely rub a bit. the back, im not to sure about. You can only trim the back about 1 1/2 inches till you need to reweld the pinch seem. but if you know how to weld thin metal you can trim higher.
Don't be a *****, run the 33's
I've been running 33's since September of last year and they're not as bad as everyone thinks. Just know your limits. Don't try to flex it out real hard or make real sharp turns and you're be perfectly fine!

X2, I believe you need at least a 10" wide rim to run a 13.5" wide tire without the tires wearing terribly. Do the lift, get wide enough rims with the correct bs and maybe even some wheel spacers, then get them mounted and balanced, then post some picture so we can all admire how pretty it looks. I always loved how Super Swampers look on cherokees, makes them look mean with those huge lugs on the sides!

Absolutely, without a doubt, they are gonna rub. And with those massive lugs, you'll be lucky if it doesn't hook onto & then rip the damn fender clean off, haha. Seriously though, I don't get how many guys say their tires don't rub? Either you guys got the radio cranked up and can't hear it or what I don't know. I've been running BFG AT's on a set of 15x10's and I cannot make a right turn without swinging wide into oncoming traffic. Not looking to start any fights just giving a realistic view here. Good luck if you decide to mount them up though, but I'd probably wait.
