Default Will my 33's fit??

Okay I have a 92 cherokee with a total of five inches of lift. I ordered the Goodyear wrangler duratrac in a 33x12.50x15 and 15x8 black bullet hole pacer wheels. So this past Friday I took it to get everything put on and they called me halfway through and told me that there was no way in hell that a 33 would fit on my Cherokee and that I had no choice but to go down to a 32. I just find this hard to believe that a 33 would NOT go on with a 5 iNch lift. I have ordered the new bf goodrich m/t with Kevlar in the 32 but I want to make sure that they were right when they said it wouldn't fit before I put the 32's on. Thanks

sounds a bit hokey to me. you should be fine. you dropped one size which is actually 1/2" top and bottom. no real difference there. i could see if you had to go from say 35" down to 30" go with the 33's bro. if you rub a little just trim the fenders.

he shop is a shop... they wont trim unless you pay them too... run 33's... bring it home and trim yourself... if they only want to save an inch then your looking at trimmin very little... and probly just plastic... a toyota dealership wont do a 350 conversion in a toyota truck either... shops just dont like doing mods unless you pay them to... and even then most still wont...
