Anyone Running 33" Pizza Cutters?

I'd just go with 31" tires and a 1.25" Black Magic Brakes BL. No chance of driveline vibes with a BL and it's easier to do.

Thanks @TheBoogieman Sorry to ask, but Im new to all this. Can I ask, what are “Driveline vibes”? and whats a “BL”? My apologies for the stupid questions, just getting to learn all this.

Thanks for clarifying ! I currently run a 2.5" lift w/ 1.25 spidertrax spacers on OEM Ravine wheels but run 33x12.5s.. Want to step down to a 33x10.5. Not concerned with Offroad performance. I feel the 12.5s are too wide, heavy and just make the jeep not look the way I want.

33x10.5s are also getting limited in availability, so my likely choice will be BFG KO2s.

Do you have a picture? I have OEM ravines too and I was thinking of 33x12.5s.. I didn’t think a 2.5 lift would be enough

BL = body lift. Driveline vibes happen after a suspension lift because of the steeper angles on the driveshafts and will ruin the u-joints quickly if the issue isn't addressed.

Found an old photo when I was running the old 255/85R16. The 33x10s for the 16 in wheel.

Compared to the more common 285/75R16 which is roughly 32.5x11.2

31's will work without a bodylift also

 

[matkal]

First pic 31” no lift, second pic 31” with 2” rear and 3” front spring lift( to level the stance) no driveline issues.

In hindsight I would have just done a 1” front lift and a body lift.

Also 31s with no lift. 245/75R16 if I remember correctly. Stock size on the 03-06 Rubicons.

@ColoJeep @Harold&Cat @TheBoogieman @GoldenGorilla @matkal thanks for the advice gents. So 30-31 inch tires will work on a stock 04 TJ X, without a lift?

Here is a photo of our totally stock 04 Sport with 30 x 9.50 R 15 LT on it.

Should be fine as long as you don't go with wide tires .

I think my steelies are 7" wide and 10.50's are max

Yup. An old pic of @JMT's Jeep with 31s and no lift.

That was the literal day I bought it!

The springs were sagging a bit due to old age

A few pics of how it evolved from 31’s to 33’s to 35’s!
