Default Wheel and Tire advice
What wheel backspacing would you recommend with this tire? http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin...c=MIDINT&cs=33


Also how will this tire fit with my 2012 JK Sport?


Thanks for you help!

Any wheel that is 4.5in back spacing will work. And also, yes those wheels and tires will fit on a stock sport.

You could probably work with that Backspacing. It's just most wheels are 4.5in. So yes. 5in will work. And if it doesn't just go buy 1in wheel spacers, but you shouldn't have any problems.

Oh shit.. My guess would be 6.5-7in.. At least that is what it is on the stock MOAB wheels.
