Back spacing is 12.5". You will need spacers too. They can work BUT You can not go off the street, turn the wheel all the way, and be very careful on bumps. They will rub like hell. I suggest NOT DOING THIS. It's a good way the F**K up your tires and jeep.

Also What kinda of Wrangler is it?
07-08? X, Sahara, Rubicon? With or with out tow package? Gears?

Very true. Most Jeepers suggest at least 3.88's or 4.10's

2.5 inch budget boost for 300 or less.

33 inch tires for around 200 a piece

5 17 inch wheels for 200 a piece or less if you go with steel and 16's

2300 and you can install yourself.

There are so many choices out there. It becomes a head ache after awhile. First you need to know what are you offroading in you area. Mud? Dirt? Sand? Rocks? Water Crossings? What kind of area do you live in?

These are all thing that you need to considier when picking tires and some lifts.One thing I learned about Jeeps is that it needs to work don't pa attention to looks. I see so many people buying tires because they look cool.
