Hi everyone,  first time here and first post.  I was wondering if I could get some help from everyone.  I have a 97 wrangler with a 4 cyl in it.  It's completely stock.  I want to put bigger wheels and tires on it, but not sure what size will fit.  I've talked to my husband and he thinks that I might be able to fit 33's on there, but he isn't too sure.  What does everyone think?  Will 33's fit or will i have to lift it?   Any advice is much appreciated.

2.5-4" lift for the 33's
and 4.88 gears...maybe 4.56's depending on driving conditions.

31's are abour as large as you'll want to get without a little lift.

i have 33 inch tires and i have 4 inch lift. my friend has stock jeep with 31 inch tires and they rub very little. if i were you try a 2.5 inch lift, that way you dont have to mess with the transfer case. that should clear 33 inch tires.  
just for fun in the sun,rain,sleet,or snow. LOL

I run 34's under 2.5" rancho hd lift...
modified bumpstops are a must for wheeling with the sway bar disconnected.

33's can go w/a 2" spacer lift on rubi coils.

Interco.com

TrXus M/T's are best mud terrains I've ever ran on.

trxus also has a all terrain more suited for sand and dirt...
