Advice on 33's on stock Willys JL wheels

[warrior49]

Hi All, New Jeep Willys owner here, so forgive the noob questions: I have a 2021 Willys which will have a Terraflex 1.5" lift on it soon, with 1.75" wheel spacers. I love the look of the stock Willys wheels and wondering if I can get 33's on them with that setup. 33/12.5-R17? Also, is a 33 smaller than a 285-70-17? Any advice on how that would look or work is appreciated. Not looking for anything extreme, just a more aggressive look. The current tires on it seem a bit small. Thanks!

Should work but RUbicon takeoffs would be a better fit at 285/70/17 on the stock wheels.

I have a close, but not exact apples to apples experience.

My JL is a stock height 2021 80th Edition that came with 255/70 r18 tires. The wheels are 7" wide, same as yours, but an inch larger in diameter. Last month, I replaced the stock tires with General Grabber 275/70 r18s. They measure just slightly over 33" in diameter.

No issues at all. They look like they're perfect match on my 2 door.

By better fit do you mean more clearance? What about getting the Mopar 2" lift? Not sure where to get Rubicon takeoffs.

Check out this thread, I have 285/75/17 on my Willys and think it is a perfect fit.
