33x10.5 tires versus 33x12.5 tires

[piratemonkey]

I'm locked in on 33's and now need to decide on 10.5s or 12.5s as well as the offset for the rims.
I'll be sticking with 15" rims and will go a 7" for 10.5s and a 8" for 12.5s.

Car will have minimum lift. Probably a combination of spacer up front to level it, body lift and a bit in virtual lift.

I'd love to see some photos of members cars with either 10.5s or 12.5s

Here's mine with 11.25", does that count? Haha

haha,

I should say that I'll be going for KM2s and unfortunately it's 10.5 or 12.5

A 8" wide wheel will work just fine with a 10.50 tire. Less mud being slung up the side of the jeep too.

33x10.5x15 Toyo MT's on 15x7 AR23 with 3.75 BS. Love 'em!

Are the Rubicon flares different from the stock flares? They look the same.

1" wider then the stock flares.

bobthetj03 is also running Rubicon flares and of course Chris is too. I believe the Sahara also has the 1" wider flares.

 

[piratemonkey]

1" wider then the stock flares.

Where do they measure?
From what I can see the Rubicon flares are 4.25" wide.

I'm measuring that on my stock flares

33 x 10.5 r15, 4.5 BS got the Jeep way much splashed.

Anyone running procomp 52 series?
I've had these in the past on my Suzuki and out of all the steel wheels I like the look of these the most.
Only thing is I can't see them offered with the correct center bore for the wrangler.

Any chance of throwing a ruler on a flare and taking a photo?
I'm trying to work out if I have the wide or narrow.

This is the rubi 4" flare.... earlier post..

The Sport measures 3" And the SE, 2".

And here is the 6" AEV HighLine flare, now discontinued...

I like the 33" on stock 15"

Cheers Bob.
Appears all the TJs that came into Australia including the Sport have the wider 4" flare.

i have 12.5. I find they seem to “float” a bit on pavement that is older with mild groves. Awesome off road! But I am actually thinking of selling mine and going to 10.5 as I have drive at least 30 Minuets to get off road with new laws in my area.
