Nice Jeep and tires. I've got a 2013 Jeep wrangler sport with the 3.6 v6 and 6speed trans and I just put a set of 285 75 16 AT tires on it and no left or spacers and no problems with anything other than my speed is off between 5 or 8 miles . But I'm getting ready to get that fixed soon 😊
Looks soooo much better. I wanted to see you go off-road and check for clearance with articulation. I’m rolling 33x12.5s on my YJ 2.5l with 4” lift. Next set are going to be 10.5s;)
Ijust put venom terra 33x12.50 17 x9 rims mud tires on 2 dr wrangler 2017 6 speed 3.6 runs great makes Lil noise from aggressive mudders but looks kick ass no rubbing either full lock
I love the look and feel of big mud tires, we are building a big yj with a 350 and one tons. It's lifted and could fit 40s very easy. But first New suspension on Randi's Green TJ. ... then the Cherokee... I need a barn.
Can you mount 33s with no lift? Mostly. I have a 2012 JKU Sahara with 18" wheels. I just installed 275/70/18 BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2s. BFG claims these are 33.2" tires. At full lock (only) the LF tire rubs significantly on the sway bar. The RF tire rubs a little on the sway bar. No other rubbing that I've found yet in the 200 miles I've been running them. I thought they would fit fine but I'm not worried since I can only turn the wheel full lock at slow speeds. I am not interested in trying wheel spacers. Also maybe it's psychological but I do think the Jeep is more sluggish and the transmission is hunting more for the proper gear when riding around town. That 33" tire does fit in the spare tire mount.
Looks like TH-cam missed sending notifications of Questions on this video. I will be going over them this week. But here is an update after almost 3 years. The tires are holding up but 35s will be going on before Jeepin with Judd 2021. After doing moderate trails and a lot of articulation rub, we did go with a 3 1/2 inch lift. Because its manual I had no issues with gearing. 33s will fit fine and I loved the stance. The 12.5" width did require spacers or a rim change. I went with Spidertrax spacers. Thank you for watching - now to get that blue gator Jeep back from Jeepers Den....
Honestly I don't wave at the driver so much, I wave at the Jeep. 🇺🇸 I follow the wave rule where I wave first if I'm the newer Jeep. It's cool if they wave back, but I'm more interested in seeing the Jeep, not the driver.
Any rub on the sway bar? I am looking forward to putting 275/70r18 on my non-lifted 2016 Sahara. What I don’t get is how putting a slightly wider tire make it 33”. The stock size is 255/70r18. All I want to do is put 0.8” wider tire, i.e. 255 to 275. Rest stays the same.
I will be putting 35s on before Jeepin with Judd 2021 - there is plenty of power still in the gears so we will see how it runs. For some reason comments from a year ago are suddenly showing???
I’m I’m in the market for looking for me a new pair of shoes to put on. I don’t know nothing about tires, but I’m trying to figure out what kind of tires to get. What’s a good brand
Choosing tires depends on what type of terrain you're going to drive on frequently. If there's no mud then there's no need for mud tires. I kind of like the Nittos because they tend to last longer. Mud tires don't last as long if you spend a lot of time driving on the pavement, you have to frequently rotate them to keep the Ware even.
I’ve got 33s with no spacers on my two door jk and I’ve had no issues with rubbing full lock in reverse there’s a very slight rub but nothing I’d ever worry about
When I first put the 12.5 wide tires they were rubbing in the inside. The rimes are not off set but soon I may change the wheels so I can get rid of the spacers. Though I have never had any issues, I still l would rather not have them on.
I was told I could not put 33s on my Jeep jk 2015 without a lift 😡 they put a 3.5 lift on it I hate the way it handles now sways a lot on little bumps and just doesn’t feel real safe doing turns ( that may just be me) I wanted a 1.5 or 2 in body lift but they said it couldn’t be done. How does your Jeep handle and ride with those tires being stock height?
We started with a lifetime alignment at Tires plus, that helped right away. Our Jeep has had a lift had all shocks and springs done last year. A 2015 should be good. Now it does fine around town, good down the road... after 70 it gets a bit scary. It often depends on the tires, and roads. Atlanta, was a crazy ride. When we first put the tires on it was all good. Now onto the 2010 JKU, It can be a chore just to keep it on the road sometimes. It feels like a sail boat moving around. I have redone all the steering, drag link, tie rod, ends, and even replaced the ball joints. Still a wandering feeling. It has 31s and a 3.5 inch lift. I did a steering box adjustment and that made it a little better.
Well then at least I’m not crazy lol everyone says lifting doesn’t change the way it handles or rides. I’m in a 2 dr jk at that. I guess I’ll ride it like it is for now an see what the future holds thanks so much for your response.
1995 wrangler I’m using 33x12.5x15 on my1995 YJ. I bought my rig a year ago and already had those tires. I got the small engine, 2.5. Do you think if I use 10.5 instead of 12.5 will help in anyway with acceleration?
Hmmm. I have spacers on my TJ. Discount Tire has told me that they are not permitted to work on vehicle with spacers....so I had to take the tires off the jeep and haul them to discount tires and phew on the Jeep myself once they were mounted and balanced. Not a big deal but your viewers need to be aware.
When I took the JK in for the tires to tirespluse they said just make sure you buy good spacers, not cheep junk. 3 years plus and no issues... yet. I would recommend to just spend the extra money and get the right rims. As soon as the tires are worn I will switch to 35s and I have new rims ready to go.
I knew you were in saint cloud Florida! So cool! I just bought a house there 4 months ago. I'm getting a jk soon ! hope to be out there in burban with y'all at least once!
The ride with 33 inch tire on my lj sport s was very heavy and you could feel vibrations in the steering wheel when you go over 65 miles per hour, even installing an afrermarket steering stabilizer, so I decided to go to stock again and problem fixed.
The tread on the back wore good. the front is just now showing some cupping. The more resent videos of the red JK will let you hear the sound. I plan on new tires before Jeepin with Judd in 2021. It's been a daily driver so 3 years out a set of tire feels like a good deal. 35s are up next. Sorry about the response time - It's as if a year ago youtube just did not send messages.
When this video was done the tires were 33" x 12.5" on 18" Sahara rims. They required 1" spidertrax wheel spacers to not rub the frame. We have never had any issues with the spacers. That same year I volunteered to lead trails at Jeepin, with Judd and had some rub on off camber monuments. Eventually a 3.5" lift was installed and has prevented much of the fender rub. The tires are still holding up, but 35s are coming soon.
stock 255/75/17 tires are about 10 inches wide. There is about an inch clearance between the sidewall and the upper rear control arm so if you put 12.5 inch wide tires on they will rub. I put 1.25-inch spacers on mine.
I know its a bit late randomly a ton of comments started showing up?? But at almost 3 years they are still doing well. They are getting a big loud but still have tread. 35s are going on before Jeeping with Judd 2021
Stock for a 2007 manual trans either came with the 321 or 373 gears. Not sure but it has a lot of pep even with 33s. Hmmmm 35s on stock gears? That is the next question.
I had a 4L 5 spd. TJ with 3.73`s and lost power and mpg when I went to 33`s. It was a healthy engine w/some mods and I was surprised at the performance cut.
This one did well with 33s. the YJ with the 2.5 did good off road, but not so good hwy. Thinking of going down to 4.88 gears and 35s on the next tire change. Coming soon.
1" Spidertrax - that was with the Sahara rims. They rubbed from the start but would not have been needed if I went with a 10" wide tire. We never had any issues.
The ride should be really bad , you can have problem in the suspension later. I put 33 inch tires on my jl sport suspension and the ride was really bad .
The ride was OK. But I did almost tear off the fenders at Judd that year. Next up for that Jeep is 35s. and lockers. I love the JK but the YJ is plenty fun to drive as well. Now we just have to find a TJ at the right price....
As soon as the intro video started I liked the video and subscribed👍
Right ! Honestly I was like this guy knows whats up
Thank you
I just put 33's on a 2012 Sahara 18" Wheel as well. I decided to just ad a 2" Lift & Level kit this weekend. Thanks for the detail an video!!
I ran 33 without lockers for about 4 years. That’s a great size for a a variety of applications
@@FloridaJeepRides What size spacers?

We put 31s back on the yj just to get some Highway speed back. The rubbing with the 33s bent the back drivers wheel well.

Thanks for the info. I did have spacers on and have also put a 3 1/2 inch lift. I did like the ride with out the lift, but I made room for 35s.

FOLLOW UP: We are still running the 33s and the tires them self have held up well. Here is the next question... Can I put 35s on stock gears?
I just got a 4dr jk x it's on 35s and while it is ok on road. Feels a bit underpowered for offroad use.
Any rub on the sway bar? I am looking forward to putting 275/70r18 on my non-lifted 2016 Sahara. What I don’t get is how putting a slightly wider tire make it 33”. The stock size is 255/70r18. All I want to do is put 0.8” wider tire, i.e. 255 to 275. Rest stays the same.
The only issues I had was when driving in a extreme flex out at Judd. The rear fenders were rubbing. I did have to put spacers on with the stock rims.
I have same tires in 35s on stock rims. love them. I put 2" spacers and 2" spring lift. Trim wings off plastic air dam and no rubbing issues.
I will be putting 35s on before Jeepin with Judd 2021 - there is plenty of power still in the gears so we will see how it runs. For some reason comments from a year ago are suddenly showing???

Hey Matt. After running the trails for a couple months now, did you notice any rubbing?
Yes I did. The first year I did Jeepin with Judd I almost lost a fender. Eventually I installed a 3 1/2 inch lift. Time for 35s next.
What size spacers did you go with
I have 1" Spydertrax. They have been good for the last 8 years on the YJ
What gear ratio do you have? I have 3.73 and I'm thinking about putting 35s on I have a 3.5 inch lift.
Still running stock - not sure what they are but they are working well with the 33s. 4.88s eventually with lockers and 35s

@@mom2four527 So many opinions out there. 🤷🏻♂️
Hold it !!! How much did you pay for those nice tires?
1995 wrangler I’m using 33x12.5x15 on my1995 YJ. I bought my rig a year ago and already had those tires. I got the small engine, 2.5. Do you think if I use 10.5 instead of 12.5 will help in anyway with acceleration?
Somehow it showed in the cart as $160 each. The 5th one was free. I just could not pass on that deal.
They got a light like that out here in California like it take five minutes for the light to change for some odd reason I don’t know run the light lol
Long lights are the norm here- I head to work at 4 am and still get caught with no one crossing.
Lol 😂

Thinking of Bull Creek
Did the spare tire fit back on without a spacer?
I had to put a few thick washers, but that worked. I also re drilled the mount so the tire would fit in the bumper slot. It also depends on the rims.
The ride with 33 inch tire on my lj sport s was very heavy and you could feel vibrations in the steering wheel when you go over 65 miles per hour, even installing an afrermarket steering stabilizer, so I decided to go to stock again and problem fixed.
I did not have any issues and got up to 75 or 80 on the hwy. The steering stabilizer is still stock. The YJ on the otherhand...
did you have them mounted randomly backwards on purpose?
I know its a bit late randomly a ton of comments started showing up?? They get moved around.
Ur jeep looks great!!!!! Good job
Thank you - 35s are on the way
How are these tires doing for you now?

you get a like just for the intro... now lemme watch the rest of this video!
Thanks.
intro is awesome.
Loved the show and it inspired the intro.
How wide of a space or did you need
1" just to get it away from the frame. Spidertrax.

My parents live in Saint Cloud!
Our Son lives there and drives our Blue Jeep often. The kids love Jeepin.
$80 for four tires mounted and balanced. That’s cheap Jesus out here in California. They want a whole arm and a leg.
Might be more I think when I put them on the green TJ it was now around 125
You can fit 35's on a stock TJ. As long as you like driving in a straight line only. Lol
I have seen that. No bumps... the tube on the YJ is slightly bent in the drivers side wheel well.
Nice ! Oh Yeah
Thank you.
Lmao.. still waiting 🙃
Sorry Jon, I did not see a question.
You mount tires on the wheels, then you'll se if they fit on the jeep ~
#Grinns Well that means I may have to get a lift... No more Jeep parts till something breaks... or don't fit.
