Probably not without rubbing. Why do you need bigger tires anyways? As far as offroading goes, you have no room for flex as it already is.

I'm not too familar with lift kit pricing on the YJ's. That's the way I'd go if you're looking for some more clearance though.

just do a suspension lift..get a 2"-3"..you could possibly squeeze 35s..but the more wheel clearence in the wheel well the better..room for more flex when going over obsticals..i would stick with 33s..even with the lift

+1 for sticking with the 33's. You go any bigger and you're going to run into a whole new set of problems, as in gears, axles, etc. There is nothing down here that you shouldn't be able to get through with 33's on a properly built Jeep.

Yeah, driving through a lake doesn't count.

you could put on tj flares, it opens up the fenders real nice and looks good too, then shackles, they dont improve flex are about the cheapest/easiest way to lift a yj did it on my brothers. looks good.

before flares

after flares
we were running 33s with no lift just flares so you should be good to go
