Default Biggest tire on a stuck rubicon rim
What's the biggest tire that you've seen on a stock Rubicon rim? I read on another site that someone had 37x12.50x17 on a stock rim.

I'd like to know if a 35x12.50x17 will fit on my rubi rims. If I can save some money, without buying new rims, that would be awesome.

The manufactor's website say that min rim width is 8.5-11 for the BFG KM2, about the same for the Nittos.

If you do have 35s on a stock rim, can you tell me about them? Any problems?


Thanks!

Both sizes will fit on the 7.5" rim. I run 35's with no problems. You will need wheel spacers

I run 37x12.50x17 on stock rubicon rims with 1.5" spacers. Your tire won't look as fat as it woul on a wider rim. No problems here.

I currently run 35x12.50x17 Cooper STT on the same rims you have. It's no problem.

I run the AEV 4.5" premium lift and I have no rubbing. I did have to trim the rear pinch seem but that is common with any size lift. The pics are not at full flex but that's the best I can do is SWFL
