New TJ setup ????

I've previously asked about a 2'' REBB. i decided i'd rather have a suspension lift and i have my mind set on the new 2.5'' suspension lift from skyjacker. the main question is what can i get 33'' with 2.5'' lift? i've heard a 2'' lift can fit 32, but with that extra .5'', do you think the 33's would be fine or just stick with the 32x11.50? and with the 32, i know i should get the 15x8 wheels, with 33'', same wheel, or 15x10s? (and if anyone can help me on this, the 3.75'' backspacing, that will make my tires stick out farther than the 4.75'', right) i have a 99' TJ

2.5" and 33s will be tight. You could do it, but you'll have to lower your bumpstops. I'd add a 1" BL if you really want to run 33s.

Both 32s and 33s can go on 8" wide wheels. Its not the tire diameter that determines wheel width... the width of the tire is what matters. Up to 12.50 or even 13.50 works well on 8" wide wheels.

And yes, 3.75" b.s. will stick out further than a 4.75" b.s. wheel of the same width.

You should consider saving up a little more money and go with Ome, and if you want 33's get a body lift.
