Got me some used 33x10.50r15 KM2 with no wear and a lil'rock rash. Cant wait to get them installed.

Before they go on i'll have a 2 inch spacer and a 3 inch body lift.

Any concerns with tire rub with that combo?

I will be running 33x12.5 tires on 15x8 rims with 3.75" backspacing once I get my 5.5" stage 3 James Duff lift installed (Currently on 31x10.5 with a 2" skyjacker lift).
If you take a look at this thread: Solved - Lifts and Max tire sizes you should be good, though may have some minor rubbing.
From my research I know a lot of the rigs on this site have been running 4" lifts with 33" tires with little to no rubbing.
What tires/backspacing will you be running? Plus, I think the 10.5 wide tires will help counter the rubbing issues a lot of people see.
Hope that helps.

SIDE NOTE: I am looking forward to seeing what the Ex looks like on the 33s.
 






Thanks.
I like a tall skinny tire and ran this exact same tire on my Samurai and they dig well in our trails, which are mostly muddy and woody.

IDK what the backspacing is on these Deer Hoof's plus they are 7 inch wide.

I'm running 33x12.5x15's on the Limited wheels. Backspacing, AFAIK, is the same on all first gen wheels. I have a 2" Skyjacker and I only get rub on the swaybar at full lock. My front fenders have also been modified to clear them as well. You really need to have at least a 2" with a 1" BL to clear a 33 without fender trimming. Your combo will suit you fine.
 






Sounds like I'll be fine with 2" plus 3" body lift then :)
Sway bars will be gone too.
