I have a new totally stock 2012 unlimited sport 17" wheels.
I'm wanting to put moto metal skull wheels on it, they are 17x9 with 4.53 backspace and -12 off set.
I'm thinking I would go with a 275/70R17 tire or maybe a 265/70R17. Will they work on the 9" wheel?
Have been told I could go with 285/70R17 but I'm concerned that it might have rubbing etc. I do most of my off road on the beach. Like 65% hwy and 35% beach rare mud.
Air down for the beach. So basically would I have trouble with rubbing with this wheel and a 285/70 or issues with this wheel and a smaller tire? Some times have like 4 adults on beach trips.

 

Anyone run a set up like this before?

 

You should be fine with that size and back spacing.

I am running a 285/75r16 on a 16x8 with 4inch backspacing

 

I'm riding on stock wheels which are either 17x7.5 or 17x8 with 1.5" spacers with 285/70R17. I am more than sure this size tire will work for you.

 

I believe you shoud be fine.

 

285 will fit just fine with the wheels you have chosen to use. You'll have no rubbing on beach or road.
