Pic Request: N/T Cherokee on 33" Tires

[4LoTJ]

Please show me love...

I'm trying to decide whether or not I want wheel spacers. If anyone has pics of a Cherokee with narrow track axles on 33"x12.50 tires please post. I would also like to know if you have spacers and what your wheel backspacing is.

My lift is on it's way, I just need to finalize this issue.

Thanks! ;) ;)

I would avoid wheel spacers, just use correct backspacing. If you do use spacers use HIGH quality ones!

[4LoTJ]

I hear ya squawkin' big chicken. I'd really like to see some pics that convince me not to use the spacers. Anyone...Anyone...???

Thanks

Usually Jeepers are so quick to post pics of their rigs. What's the deal?

You're not going to fit 33's on an NT w/spacers or otherwise w/o some type of lift or fender cutting.

You'll need a 4" lift and 3" bodylift to fully clear 33's without trimming....

You can find pics on my site under the Skyjacker page...with 4" lift and 3" BL with 31's... I have no pics of the 33's I ran, but I did rub them a bit with a 10" rim... 8's would'nt be a problem

spacers are a very bad idea. They have a bad reputation of snapping wheel studs because there is a LOT more stress put on them.

Ditto on the nix the spacers idea. :(

And as for fender cutting (aka rust removal), I've got plenty of cutting discs at the shop. Once I've trimmed the fenders as far as I want to go, I'll check for rubbing. Then I'll consider the body lift.

I guess I'll just have to post my own pics when I'm done. I'll be using 15x8 wheels with 3.25" backspacing. If that ain't wide enough I'll take a closer look at the axles under that J-Truck I saw parked in the middle of a field.

Cheers! :D :D :D

33's on stock rims, with 3 inch lift. MAJOR FENDER TRIMMING IN REAR!

Not sure why you need pic's of a NT Chero, any NT is going to be the same except for a 2dr/4dr.

I'm running 33x12.50's on a narrow track cherokee.. I've got a 4" rusty's suspension and a 2" body lift with no fender trimming. They still rub slightly. you can see pics at the link in my sig..

Highsteel-
the chero looks great? What backspacing on those wheels?

[4LoTJ]

Sorry-I meant the chero looks great!

[Highsteel]

Thanks...2.5" backspacing i'm pretty sure...which is pretty much standard i think...post some pics when you get the lift installed
