Rim and tire question on my 07 Wrangler Sahara?

I have a 07 jeep wrangler sahara. I have the factory 18in rims witch i like but would like to downsize to a 16in rim to make mud tires more affordable. My question is if I buy a 16×8 rim to fit my jeep can i put a 33×10.5×16 tire on that rim? Secondly will I need more lift to run 33′s and will i need spacers? Any help would be great.

    Lucky you, I just happen to have a tire fitment chart in front me.

    Stock – 32×11.50 max
    2″ lift – 33×12.50 max — same requirement for any 33 – 33×10.50 is also listed.
    The fitment is based on an 8″ rim width – wheel dia. isn’t a factor

    Most 10.5 width tires recommend wheel widths of 7-8″ with some allowing 7-9″ so you are OK there.

    So looks like you need the spacers (or springs)

    Those 18′s are crazy expensive aren’t they!
