33x12.5x15 on 15x7 rims?

Does anyone run 33x12.5's on stock rims?

I'd like to not have to purchase new rims if I can help it. My jeep does not see alot of street time.

Thanks for any input.

They'll fit, but I'm pretty sure you'll have rubbing issues with the massive backspacing of the stock rim.

Not a good idea, but will work until you get frustrated enough, after all the rubbing you will hear when in a tight turn. Pro comp (rock krawler) sells some cheap black steel wheels with more off set to fix your problem.

How much back spacing should I be running on 33x12.5's to prevent rubbing?

I am running Baja MTZ's 33x12.50 on the stock 7" wide rims. The rubbing is very minimal. It is only at full lock and if you turn the steering wheel just a couple degrees it goes away. Once you learn where the rubbing begins you adjust and almost never have rubbing issues. You can easily do everyday driving parking lots and all with never rubbing.
