Ok guys I just got a new 2012 wrangler unlimited sport.
It is currently all stock except for a few cosmetics.
I'm going to get new wheels and tires.
I do 60% hwy driving. 30% beach 10% dirt/muddy
This is what I'm looking at getting.
I want 275/70 R17's or 265/70 R17's thought 285/70R17 would give me trouble.
Dale ernheart jr cannon wheels 8.5 wide 4 1/2 bs -6 off set
Or like the moto metal skull wheels that are 9.0 wide 4.53 bs and -12 off set.
Would the 9" moto's give me trouble ? Like them the best but worried about the 9" wide with 265's or 275's cause I air down for the beach.
I also am wondering that most of the tires I look at use like 80 lbs air so if I drop down for the beach wondered how low was ok and have the air monitors on this 2012. Will that cause problems?

Not putting a lift on?
If not, you should still be fine, as long as you get rims with correct BS, or get some spacers for your stock rims.
Any minor rub you get should be easily fixed. From other threads I've read, it seems like you can go with 33's, on stock suspension.

I put 285/75R17 (almost 34", depending on thread depth and manufacturer) on my stock rims with spacers, but also got a 2.5" BB lift (for the same cost as new rims..). Only got a little rub up front, at full turn, in reverse... And it was an easy fix with a sharp knife.


I'm sure there are someone here with your exact setup that can tell you how that works.

That's why I wanted to get the new wheels and tires so to avoid the spacers and stay all stock for now. Thought the moto metal skull wheels at 9" wide 4.5 bs and -12 would work and keep everything stock but allow for future lift and bigger tires if I wanted to later but for now stay stock. Am told that if I get the moto metal skull wheels and put 285/70r17 on them I won't need spacers and have no issues with rubbing. Sound right?
