I'm still on stock tires and suspension but the tires are starting to look like they could use replacement soon. I have some other things going on that make it so I can't do exactly what I would want with tires/suspension but I can do new wheels and tires. My question is can I run the Ballistic Jester wheel which has a 4.5" backspace and a 285/70/17 Duratrac without any suspension work or fender trimming on a 2010 Rubicon?

Yes. I ran the same size tire and wheel on Jeep at stock height for three months. Had no issues other then the front air dam rubbing under lock-to-locking turning [think parking lot maneuvers].



You may have rubbing with the fenders when going off-road, though.

 

Thanks. My front air dam and bumper are both trimmed already so shouldn't be any concerns there. Most of my driving is on the road and when I do venture off it's usually not particularly challenging offroading so I think I should be ok. The trick is that if I did have to touch the suspension, I would just do a 2.5" lift and get 35s. Thus wanting to check on the fit of this wheel/tire combo before buying.
