I will not be participating in this forum as of 8/31/2018. It's been a fun ride, but it's time to move on. Take care. - Dustin

If I do this, will I need to get a spare tire relocation bracket for my spare? I believe there only an inch larger but wasnt sure on the bumper clearance.

They will be fine. The wheels are the same size and the tires fit fine. I have the tires on my Sport S with no problems.

I have the Rubicon wheels but different tires. My tires are slightly smaller than the Rubicon ones. I have 255/75R17's which come out to about 32.1". No issues at all with mine on the rear and I still have room left so I assume the slightly taller Rubicon tires would be fine..

Any of you have the automatic transmission? Do you see a difference in performance going up to the 33" wheels?

I have an automatic 2.0T Sport with rubicon wheels and tires. I don’t notice a lot of difference. No rub at all and spare fits fine. Worth it
