Will 33X12.50R18 fit a stock 2018 JL? Rims are 18x9.
Thanks!

Without a problem. Those tires are best on 8.5-11 inch wide rims, so 9 is fine.Will 33X12.50R18 fit a stock 2018 JL? Rims are 18x9.

Ah yes, I always forget about backspacing. You might need spacers with stock wheels, but I'm thinking not with that size tires. I'm sure someone else on this forum can weigh in on that...It depends on the backspacing of those wheels. You may contact the LCA's during a turn.
The 9" wheels could actually make it worse, depending on the backspacing again. It's pretty important to check for fitment in all directions.Ah yes, I always forget about backspacing.

For sure. Edit: but then again, that's not considering tire clearances.Will 33X12.50R18 fit a stock 2018 JL? Rims are 18x9.

What does this have to do with the question asked?For sure. Edit: but then again, that's not considering tire clearances.
I run 33x12.50/18 tires on my GMC truck. I've had them on 18x9 and now factory 18x8.5 wheels. On my second set of Cooper ST Maxx. First set went about 60,000. The truck is very stable with this wheel/tire combo.
You won't need a lift but may want spacers to bring the tires out a bit so they won't contact inner suspension parts under full articulation.What does this have to do with the question asked?
I too am looking to see if 33X12.50R18 will fit the stock rims of a 2019 JLUS with out clearance issues, or will I need a lift?
How are you liking these tires so far? Are they good in wet ? They are on my list.Just installed 305/65R17’s (Dick Cepek trail country exp’s) on my stock ‘19 JLU rims and stock suspension. I did install 1.5” wheel spacers, no rubbing issues anywhere.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you! I love the tires! Do very well in all conditions.How are you liking these tires so far? Are they good in wet ? They are on my list.
