I have an 07 Rubicon with a Teraflex leveling kit and Spidertax 1.5" wheel spacers. I have an opportunity to get a set of BFG All Terrains for a killer price. Will I be ok running these on my stock wheels and the set up I have?

Thanks for any and all help on this

I am pretty sure you will need to cut your fenders or buy flat flares. You also might need to cut Rubi rails and fold over pinch seem on the rear. If you don't wheel you jeep I figure you will be fine without cutting the fenders.
This is exactly what tire size I am going with on mine with a leveling kit and wheel spacers. Just a little trimming and your golden.

Go for it. But it's gonna be really tight fit. Don't do any crazy wheeling.

This a 2.5" bb on that same size tire, and it rubbed when wheelin.

That thing looks nice ZOSo!

I do go wheelin and I guess I would be worried about it rubbing then. I do FAR more driving on the roads and this is my daily driver, so I suppose the occasional wheeling trip I could live with

Dang, I was hoping to get by with these with no issues...man what a drag.

I know a guy that works at a Chevy dealer, and they had a Hummer come in that was in a collision and it totaled out, so he took the wheels and tires off of it, he already sold the wheels(I wouldnt want them, and couldnt use them anyway) but still has all 5 tires and is gonna sell all 5 of them to me for $200!!

Dang, now I dont know what to do.

Yes it will limit uptravel But with that much of a smokin' deal on the tires it will be well worth it...

I would buy them and give them a try for that price. We have a guy in our club running 35s with just a leveling kit and doesn't have any trouble. At that price it is worth a shot.

Scooter,
You were right Scooter you told me so...

Which bump stops would you suggest? Do I need to get all of those listed on that page?

Thanks
