Pic Request: 33" tires w/ aftermarket fenders and no lift

[Low_Spark]

My goal this go around is to go low and light, I would like to stick to a 33 or 34" tire and maximize off road articulation with on road DD performance. Can someone share any pictures with this type of setup? I am hoping that it isn't to ridiculous looking.

Cheers!

Is this a sport? you dont need aftermarket fenders to fit 33s. Articulation of the sport suspension is what it is. Replacing fenders isnt worth the trouble unless you want to go 35s and small lift.

if you want to increase articulation and also replace your 32s with 33s, id suggest you get a rubicon takeoff suspension for about $150. That will hugely improve articulation and your jeep will still drive perfectly fine on the road. Thats what I did.

Articulation with the stock tires and rubi suspension:

And thats not even maxed out. That rock is bigger than what it looks on that picture. I went over it and kept all tires on the ground. My profile pic will give you a better idea.

Thanks for the pics, I am getting a rubicon but will be doing aftermarket bumpers and a winch so I will lose some ride height which is why I was thinking of going with a lightweight fender like a nemesis or similar.

If you pick the right combo and order steel bumpers you wont lose height. I didnt lose any height with bumper/winch. If you do, it is better to add spacers to get that inch back. Fenders wont make up for the lost ground clearance.

Order tow package, steel group, and hardtop to get the heavy duty suspension. Then you can shed weight on the metal bumpers with lighter aftermarket and add your winch. I have metal rear and front + winch + sliders/steps. No sag.

33 on rubicon will not rub even if you add which and bumpers.
You can always shave stock flares. Looks better then aftermarket.

High Altitude - 285/70/17's only 1/2" wider each side - happy, no issues when I did quite a bit of duning last Saturday.

Factory rubi tires are 32`s. People run 35s no lift on rubi all the time.

Here's factory 32s on a willys with no lift and flat fenders

That's with steel front bumper and a winch.

Rubi would be even taller. If you go flat fenders I'd go at least 35s to not look strange.

Same willys no lift with 37s

Sport Altitude with stock 18" wheels and 275/70R18 tires. No need for aftermarket fenders here.

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. You are spot on, flat or chopped fenders + stock tires would look quite strange on a Rubi.

I agree. If you want low and light with maximum articulation, maybe look into a 35x10.5? I know a lot of the taco guys run those. Pretty light, and you may be able to get full flex no lift.

Thats not a bad thought, I do like tacos!
