Default Will 285/70/17's fit

I bought a new 2012 JKU Sport. I want to swap the tires and looked for a size as close to the Rubicon stock size. These are just a bit larger than the Rubicon 255/75/17's. Questions is, will they fit with no lift, spacerx ect? Anyone running this size?

They will fit the wheels, but you will need spacers to push the wheels further out from the frame. Other wise the tires will rub. I would save up for a new set of wheels as well. If you go with a 16" wheel, you can go with a 285/75/16 tire.

Your goal is to shoot for 4- 4.5" of back spacing...
