the wheel studs are long on a JK and you need to run a 1.5" spacer.

I run 1.5in wheel spacers on 17x8 rims with 4.5 bs. Toyos 37x1350x17. It will still rub the frame at full lock and flexed. Just a tiny bit though and I've never adjusted the steering stops though, it's really not bad enough for me to worry about. As wol said, 13.50's will still rub with your current rims.
