    33/12.50. I got a set used set for a song to see if I liked them.
    Some shots of them mounted with a 2.5 lift. You can see the rim backspacing on the rears.
    The front is with the 1" spacers. The rear has none. I eliminated any spring rub with the spacers but both front and rear are outside the fenderwells, which means if I keep them, flares are in order.
    I've got a 4" but am really balking at installing it as my fat old a$$ is struggling to get in it now..............

    Thanks for the pics. I hope running the short 32.5" 10.50s I can keep them close to inside of the wheel wells without rubbing. The backspacing tool should help nail the right offset. Then I just need to find that specific wheel.

    Not sure I'd call 32.5 "short."

    Keep in mind that tires wide enough to be beyond the fenders are illegal in at least some states.

    Im glad you are keeping the jeep more tame thats a good looking rig just as it is I would put lockers in and run it. The newer jeeps like 70s and 80s cjs are better for big lifts and tires. That said I have a spring over lift and 35s on my 2a with the stockish drivetrain and its great for what I do and iv never broken anything.
