Default Tire question

Alright I know I can run 33x12.50's on a stock height 4x4 so my question is what is a 33" tire? I looked for tires since I have a 17" rim and all I get is 32's or the size 305 an such. Currently I have a 265 on and if I go much bigger it looks as of it'll run into the bumper and valance and I don't want to trim anything.

305/65/17 is a 32.6" x 12.0" tire and there are a decent amount of manufacturers in that size. A 315/65/17 would be 33.1" x 12.4" but unfortunately that tire size doesnt exist. haha.

This is the tire size calculator I use...It is the best one in my opinion. Then just use Ebaymotors to see if tires are out there. Thats my method of madness.
