Don't mount 33s on stock wheels, get some offset wheels for them

yeah bro you totally need 7.5" of lift to clear 33s

If they are good tires (not some street treads) get them. for everything that can't be trimmed with an angle grinder, there's bumpstops. you'll just need wheels with enough offset to not rub when steering, but if your state has no fender laws go for it.

What??? hahaha.Not even close to accurate. Don't know if your joking MRFAJITA

You can fit 33s stock height with trimming and bump stops. You will def need Back spaced rims though. your tires will rub the c/a's

I'm @ 4.5 with 33s and trimmed mildly, i don't rub. at all. even if you want to fit 33 without any trimming your talkin 5-5.5" of lift. Not 7...lol.

On stock wheels? And that doesn't rub at all? I'd think they'd be all over your lower control arms...

Pardon me all, I was wrong. I just hadn't seen it done. I've seen 33s on a 3" lift with lots of trimming, bumpstopping and a lower backspace wheel. Never on stock though. To the OP, I'm thinking you're going to need to trim more just by the looks of it

Those must be 34x9.5 tires if they don't rub. Lol

Because even a 10.50 on stock rims will rub. Ask how I know.
