Now that I think about it. I ripped a 4" tear in my sidewall. Had to replace it. I like my km2s though. Just depends what u wanna do with ur Jeep. Mainly on road and a little offroad and with snow coming soon, duratracs. A lot of offroading and street use, km2s. All offroading, those federals. Kid I offroad with runs those. Do great.

For 33s you don't need 10 inch wide wheels.

What ever one you want. 12.50 will stick out a bit and may* rub

10.50 will be close to stock width and be what I call a pizza cutter.

I think a lot of people are scared of them because they are not common.

So far they have been great. I have the 16in 10ply tires. So I don't know how the normal ones are. These are awesome and pretty bullet proof.

I was going to buy the Big horns that you mentioned. But decided to go with these.

It all depends on your lift and wheels you buy. You never told me that so I put may with a * so if it did rub you can't blame me. Far as I know you could have a stock XJ or 42" of lift.

And pick up a pizza cutter. Roll it across the counter. That's what a 10.50 tire looks to me since I have a 12.50 tire on a 10 inch rim.

Like I said it will stick out. And I fix where I rub with a grinder or a hammer. Lol

If you like wider go 10. It's gonna stick out. Hope your state don't care. I'm lucky and never get pulled over for it. Cops just really like my jeep I guess...
