Blue,
I did in fact get a set of 33x10.5 BFG ATs and mount them on the Jeep slots. I have 1.5" wheel spacers on the back, so I'm not really sure if there would be interference with the drum.
On the front, they did lightly kiss the bent edge of the caliper mount bracket so I had to grind the edge off of the brackets.
But I really like that these wheels have a nice neutral offset and with the 10.5" section width tires the handling and steering is much improved. For me, high offset wheels look great, but handle terribly.
What I also like about these is that they mount with a standard 60-degree taper lug nuts, rather than the shoulder lug nuts used on the normal mag wheels.
