Rough Country recommends 32" x 11.5" tires with their 4.5" kit that way the tires will not rub no matter how you articulate jeep. I'm lookin at getting 5 KM2's 33" x 12.5 R15 on 15 x 10 wheels.1. Does anyone run 33's on a 4.5" kit did you have to trim flares/wells or do tires rub on anything in tight situations? Curious gettin ready for tax money and syked bout finally gettin some new rubbers.

I have the 4.5 lift with full packs.
I originally had 32's. They were great. I could stuff them as hard as I wanted front and rear and never had any rubbing with no sway bars with no trimming or modifications.
I just got a set of 33's. This opened a whole new can of worms. I didn't have rubbing that bad. I could only turn the wheels about 60% before the rubbed the back of the fender. this weekend i tore out the liners and took of the fender flares. I trimmed the rear of the fender about an inch and now i have no issues with turning and I will trim the front fenders a little to get it looking smooth.
