32's are harder to find a cheap spare for... the 33's will fit but you won't be flexing much. I have 31's on my 4.5" atm because it wasn't paid off yet when I got the tires, thinking I'll trim and go to 35's when I'm ready for new tires.

I ran 31's with lockers and went places TJ's with 35's had problems going!
(It's an XJ thing, TJ's don't understand)
I ran 31" Treadwrights. LOVED them!!! Too bad they dont make 33" 15's
I currently run 4.5" springs and longer shackles with cut out fenders and still had to extend my rear bumpstops to lessen rubbing.
Fronts rub slightly way inside the fenderwells w/ 3" springs and 2" poly spacers
I don't have sway bars so I get lots o flex.

I would go 33's. I did love my 31's. But loved my 33's more and the trimming is not that hard and dose not take that long. Now I love my 36's and can't see running any smaller. I'm sure I'll say the same thing when I max out at 39.5's but hay Jeeps are an addiction. And with any addiction you can never get enuf.
