Tire Clearance Question

Hey everyone, I just got my first xj and had a quick question. Its got a 4.5 lift on it with 32s. Will I be able to fit 33s on it without cutting the fenders or will I have problems? Thanks!

If you plan on doing any wheeling, you will need to trim the fenders and increase the bumpstop. I have a 5-1/2" lift with 33's and I had to trim the hell out of it front and back, but I also play hard.
