it really depend if on the width of the tires if you 33x10.5-15 you will be fine if you get the 12.5 you can get them on but i wouldnt recomend it i would at least go to 8 inch wide rims if not 10 inch wide for the 12.5

X 2, 33x12.50.15s will fit a 15x7 rim. That is what I have my 33s mounted on but, My son has the same exact kind of 33s mounted on a 15x8 inch rim and his have a wider footprint than mine do.

Most rep. tire shops will not mount them... also if you do mount them on stock Jeep wheels they will rub big time on your control arms
