Default What tires do i go with and how much trimming?

Ok I ordered a rc 4.5 lift, and i am going to order my tires, I want bout an inch or so outside the finder, I hav a 94 2 door 5 speed, I don't want to trim alot and would like to run 33 12.50 or 10.50? I'm in Louisiana so just mud no rocks, would I jus need to mark where my fender flares are and cut that or is it going to be alot more and will I be able to fit that tire size?

What is considered minor? Will cutting right where my stock fenders sit be enough for 33 12.50s and are they going to stick out to much

you cant really tell where your going to have to trim until your have the tires mounted up...and yes 12.50s will stick out a good bit with out flares...heres a pic 33s with 3.75'' of backspacing....

Your jeep looks awesome!! Are those 33x12.5x15?? Also what is your lift? I have a 3" lift and the 30" tires but I was hoping to fit 33" will that work do you think? Thank you!
