    I don't want to be that guy, but do a quick search. 33 (285/70/17) is the most popular size for these, pretty much every day there's a new thread on this very subject.

    There's a few variables depending on what tire and wheel you want to run, and what you want to do with it.

    Depends what you mean by 33? Technically most 285/70s are less than 33”, but a 255/80 are 33”. Pizza cutters supposed to be less modifications, better with stock rims, less stress for steering, less mpg impact, maybe risk of stiffer ride due to only E load vs SL or C load being offered for 285s. I’m going through this dilemma now on which way to go.

    I went the cheapest route possible and bought a Daystar KT09134BK 2.5" lift off of Amazon for $100 or so. I installed it myself and was able to fit Cooper 285/70/17 Evolution MTs on stock rims...

    Then I switched tires to the Goodyear Wrangler UltraTerrain in the exact same size, but they are actually a true 33" tire and on the stock rims, required a little bit of trimming.

    And then when I went to an aftermarket rim that was 9" wide with a -12 offset, it was extreme rubbing...

    But, with stock rims or stock rim width and offset specs, you can run most brands of 285s with a cheap 2.5" spacer lift and retain stock ride quality and not stress anything.
