Need to borrow 33's

[dave92cherokee]

Looking to see if anyone is close by my area that run's 33x12.50 that would mind coming over so I could see something. Wanting to see if 33's will fit at stock height on the manche i'm building, and if not what the minimum lift would be to run them for street only at's. Not wanting to do the typical 4" lift and what not because it's SUA just want to see what it'd look like. That and I'll throw some pics on here of it if they fit stock. So anyone available the 18th with at least 2 33's?

they don't fit unless you cut some stuff.... maybe 33x10.5's on the back, but they rub like crazy in the front.

agreed^^ I don't know how large the rear wheel well is on the MJ, but the front wheel lip is only 31" (front to rear) and will eat a 33" tire any time you turn the wheel at all.

Hmmm i'll have to double check when I get home today from the airport but I know I measured the rear wheel wells and the bottom edge was just over 33" and I thought the front was 33" as well.

I just measured the inside metal lip of the front fenders on the XJ and the very bottom is 34.5". Right now I've got the front fenders and front clip removed for cutting the rockers out anyways but would still like to see if they would even fit and what it would look like sitting so low with 33's. So if anyone in boro or close by down here is running or has a pair of mounted 33's laying around I could borrow for about an hour or two to look at then you can take them back with you just hit me up.
