You can fit 32's on a stock JK Wrangler but not on a stock TJ Wrangler. I have a 2" lift on my TJ and I run 31s. I could probably get away with 32s but everything I have read says you need about 3" of lift on a TJ to fit 33s. Most of the lifts that claim you can run 32s are 2 1/2" lifts (there are some 2" lifts that claim this).

we got 31 x 11.50's on my friends 02 TJ w/ no lift with the same rims that's on that black one

slight rub on passenger side lower arm but that's it

you'll get some rubbing at full lock, but even with a set of spidertrax you shouldn't have a problem fitting 33's

they'll chew your flares off tho :)

I'd say it's a year difference if the TJ won't fit 32's or 33's

b/c the 2002 has no problem fitting them ignoring flare issues

-no clue about the ofset of the rim but im definately gonna need atleast a 1" wheel spacer

- long arm would be epic :mrgreen:

- i talked to a buddy of mine who is a licensed jeep/chrysler/dodge mechanic and he said with a little fender modification i could fit them on a stock wrangler so my 1 inch lift will be fine. all i need to wory about is the speedo gear.

- i get rub with my 31x10.5's so im not too worried about the rubbing and my flares are faded, scrached, and gouged up as it is so new ones or maybe some tube fenders are gonna be purchased soon. this'll just gimme more of a reason :pepper:
