@borg247 The wide wheel base keeps the Jeep more stable when canted sideways.

@WowMike2002 I know, mine are the same kind and they fit tucked, I've seen only one with a spacer and I thought that was pushing it, but I do see a lot with the larger lip, it really just matters what you want to do with the vehicle or Jeep if you have a larger lift then the lip on the wheel shouldn't matter if you can clear it. I just get irritated when people say one specific brand is the best when it all comes down to suspension, gearing, tires and most importantly the driver.

@bobbyschweiss89 A standard 33x12.5 on 8" wheels will sit even with the fender, most peopel choose to go with a 10" wide wheel, which sticks out out past the fender about an inch and a half - Not the best thing to do if it affects your flex due to rubbing - but thats where a Dremel comes in.  Its usually not people putting a spacer on, anyone who 4 wheels vehicles sure as shit wont be using spacers on there axles unless they absolutely have to get them away from the frame.

actually the reason the tires stick out is because people put spacers or have a big lip on the tires, how do expect to put a bigger tire under the frame with any vehicle

Erm no I was more referring to the fact that it is a Jeep! You wouldn't need one if you had got a Land Rover! Why on earth does a Jeep have such a wide wheel base then the actual body is about a foot narrower! Stupid things.

Its not because their crap that we need winches. its because we decide to do thing with our jeeps that pussy's like you would be too afraid to do in you "volvos" or "bmw" so so some advice stick to on road

[borg247]

You'll need to use a winch A LOT in one of those crap things.
