So I got my Discoverer STT 33x12.5 tires yesterday and they are sitting in my room, whole house smells like tires and it is killing me. I cant sleep or eat I need these on my jeep now. Could I put these on my stock rims and save up for the ones I want or should I wait. Right now I have 34x10.5 tires will there be much of a difference in rub because the tires on there now rub at around 3/4 turn.

 

go for it!! u are gonna rub more obviously but i see no good reason not to

 

X2, GO FOR IT!

 

definitely more rub. mostly on the control arms and rear leaf springs. you run the risk of possibly gouging the treads on leaf spring bolts or knocking tread blocks off from the front control arms.

i'd wait till you get proper rims. (15x8 with at least 4 to 3.75bs)

do you have stock or tubular lower control arms?

 

Ok thanks you told me exactly what I needed wanted hear. Well actually I wanted hear what the first 2 people said more but I wanted to know if it would gouge tires or not.


Not sure what lca's I have bought jeep lifted and new to this stuff figuring it out as I go. How could I tell if it stock or aftermarket.

 

the stock ones are basically sheetmetal bent in a c shape and yeah basically look at then and if they look wimpy there stock haha

 

Not sure if you can tell this is best picture I got and to dark outside to take another.

 

those are aftermarket, they shouldnt rub on those thats y they are kinda bent

 

What I am rubbing on now it usually rubs more on left turns then right?

 

probobly a bad splash shield, just rip those things out!

 

Alright I will rip them off tomorrow and see how it does tired of not being able to turn all the way.

 

I have 33x12.50s on those exact rims. In my case, I couldn't drive it because the tires were putting quite a bit of pressure on the rear springs and every time I moved it, there would be a constant popping noise where the tire was rubbing. I was afraid it would f*** the tire up, so I bought wheel spacers. In your case it might be cheaper to just get some soft 8s, as I got a REALLY good deal on the spacers.

Also, you won't have a lot of ground contact when your tires are aired up to streetable levels. The outer lugs on my tires don't even touch the ground (when driving over gravel, the middle 2 sets of lugs have dust on them, but the outers remain clean).

Eventually I want to get some 15x8s with better backspacing, but money is tight right now and the spacers let me drive it.

 

cagfed is right if you like speed bumps or rideing ditches get the right rims

 

hell, even if it does rub the front control arms theyre round anyway so they wont hurt the tires like the stockers would. I would opt for wider rims but they will fit ok on yours you just wont be able to air them down as much for off road traction

 

I had tried 13.5 and 12.5 on stock rims and they both rubbed way too much in the rear against the leafs. Spacers or new rims...
