So, I just came across what appears to be a steal on my local craigslist for a set of 325x60x18 Kumho tires with 3/4 tread remaining for $200. These would slide upon my stock 18'' Sahara rims relatively nicely! That being said, i'm stock height without spacers (yet). Are these tire TOO wide to begin with? That converts to 33.4X12.8

I saw a thread from several years ago about it, but it really didn't answer my question...

Thoughts from any of you professionals or is anybody running that size? Feel free to chime in with thoughts/opinions!

Yes I rubbed with 12.5's

So much that it can't be fixed with spacers? I'd be adding 1.5" spacers immediately

Mabye I went up 2.5 and it stopped

I ran BFG AT K/O 33x12.5x15's on my bone stock 2013 JKU with absolutely no problem at all.

Below are pics from 1 day after I brought her home from the dealership, before I installed any lift at all.

They look pretty f'n sweet... what was the backspacing on your rims though?

SPCmario

Since he's running 15" wheels his backspacing is 4.5" or less, I believe stock back spacing is 6.25" which means his wheels stick out at least 2.25 inches. It would be like running 2.25" spacers.

ah, yeah, i forgot about the backspacing.... it was late, lol

You'll rub. But, it's hard to say if that'll be much of an issue. I rub a bit at full lock on my lower control arms with 12.5 wide tires with 4.5 backspacing. The rubbing in my case isn't a problem.

This. Even with spacers you'll probably rub a little, but only at full lock and it won't cause any issues. Maybe rub marks on the frame and LCA's, but that's it. Won't impede driving ability. Can probably even adjust it out by adding washers to the steering stop bolts. That will decrease your turn radius, though.
