Default 2012 rubi question

I thought the Rubi's came with 33" tires, not 32"?

And its got a dana front end, what about the rear end?

Sorry for the questions, if they're dumb.

Rubicons come with 255/70R17 they work out to close to 32”. Rubis have Dana 44 front and rear, other models have a Dana 30.

Thanks, I could have swore that rubis came with 33's...

On their website, it says "Dana Front Axle"

tires measure out to be 31 . 8 i believe

rubicon has dana 44s front and rear wich are a little more hd
Rubi tires are 32"
255/75/17=
255 x .75 = 191.25
191.25 / 25.4 = 7.53
7.53 x 2 = 15.06
15.06 + 17 = 32. 06

All tires are measured aired up, under no load. The circumference of the tire does not change whether under a load or under no load... it merely elongates.
