Default tire size?

I have a set of 285-75-R16 tire like new and was wondering if that was the same as a 33 0r 32?

And how much lift and what back spacing i need for 1991 cherokee?

The stock jeep isn't getting it!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for any replies.

That's about 32.8" tall by about 11.2" wide. Not sure I can help much since I haven't lifted myself.

On 33's you can run a 3" lift with loads of trimming.
