Do I need new rims for 33s on a Jeep JK Sport?

Ok I have a 2010 JK Jeep Wrangler Sport… I wanna get bigger tires and about a 2.5 or 3 in suspension lift. Because I don’t wanna have to deal with regearing it and all I’ve decided on 33s instead of 35s… Will I be able to use my stock 16 in wheels with the 33s or should I buy new 17 in rims? I’m a noob to all this car talk stuff so… yeah… looking around I’m still confused on this issue.

    Nah dude. Dont waste your money on new rims. I had 2009 jeep with 16in wheels with 34′s and they fit perfectly, no rubbing or anything. if you go with a 3in lift you might want to look into a new steering stabilizer.

    It depends on the width of the tire you choose. If you select a wide tire, you will need a wider rim to match. Ask your tire dealer what rim width your new tire requires.
    How tall are your original tires ? 33s may cause more gear issues than you think
