Anyone come across pictures of a 33x10.5R15 on a 15x6 9-slot.  I'm wondering if there is enough clearance without having to add a spacer.  Although I've even thought about going to 31's if gas prices remain high.  I'd more then likely end up removing my body lift.  Will have to turn in my hardcore merit badge though.

I forgot I had these shots. I am pretty sure they are on a aftermarket wheel not a OE. But they are 33.10.50.

The flares are a dead give away that they're on 3.75" BS aftermarket wheels.

They look like they are in good shape.  My spare seems to be on one like those.

These wheels are supposedly from a '02 or '03.  You can tell they are late model from the center cap.  I was lucky to find some late models as I think they look a little better.  The guy said they were only used a year.  His friend bought the Jeep and upgraded tires.  He bought them from his friend but used the tires only.  There is a little surface rust but not really a big deal.

National backorder from what I've heard.  I'm in no rush though.  I can wait for another sale at American Tires.

Ah, so the center cap is attached on the new ones.

They use screws in the back like the older ones.  Just different caps.

That set of steel wheels you bought looks pretty good Jeffy.  Next tire change I'm probably doing 33s with the 10.5 width on 4:88s;  I'll probably just keep the tj alloys I've got now.  Can't believe you're thinking of going to 31s...would you keep your lift the same?

This Jeep is on 31x10.5R15's with 4" lift.  If I remove my body lift, I'll be about 4".  I'm going to go down to American Tires and see how long it will talk to get some 33x10.5R15 KM2's.  I've got my existing tires on CL and have gotten a few email.

That YJ looks pretty good with the 4" suspension lift and 31s.  Looks like it wants 33s, but the 31s still look pretty good.  

I noticed my Firestones Destinations only come in 12.5" width for the 33s.  Do like those tires a lot, but I'd probably still find 33s in a 10.5, probably a different tire make/model, maybe KM2s or something.  The KM2s are pretty well liked at TireRack http://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=ORMT.  

Of course then you see this 4 wheeler piece http://www.fourwheeler.com/techarticles/wheels/129_1104_massive_mud_tire_shootout_intro/index.htmland they are giving the headkooks top marks, at least for the trail they were running.
