Tire Question
« on: January 30, 2014, 01:42:28 PM »
What is the largest tire size I can put on a 2013 JKU Rubicon with no lift and using the stock rims?

I was hoping to get  to LT285/70R17

You can stick 35's in there if you don't mind a bit of rubbing and install some wheel spacers.

33's would be smarter - especially if you go to flat fenders.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

If you don't use wheel spacers then the 285 is a safe choice with no other mods. If you don't mind wheel spacers then 295 can fit. If you change rims then a 305 is an option. These are all close in height and just get wider. High line fenders or just trimming your stock ones can get you more room. Lots of different ways to step up in tire size. Lots of tire options too:)
