Question about 285 70 R17 on stock wheels
I have a chance to buy a kit of used 285 70 R17 mud tires.
Will it fit on the stock wheel (road and trail) ?
If I do the steering stop write-up (http://project-jk.com/jeep-jk-write-...top-adjustment) I won't have any rub at full turn?

I had these tires in 2008
Rubbing at full turn (front sway bar and brake line)
But, I didn't know about the steering write-up, therefore I can't really answer to your question
Bonne chance cousin...

OKAY GUYS
I had my answer here: (thanks to Wayoflife)
http://project-jk.com/jeep-jk-write-...top-adjustment
The answer:
Two weeks ago I had my mechanic, who is also a jeeper, wire my winch. I told him about the rub on the sway bar after I put on my 285 70R17 Goodrich Mud Terrain tires on my factory rims. He suggested adjusting the steer stop, but when he saw the spot welded nut to the bolt, he told me that I would have to get new offset rims. I just did the adjustment myself, and the tires clear just fine.
