if your back spaceing is 4.5 or less it will be fine. or you will need spacers. those tires will be about 33". you could fit 35's if you wanted to as well but may rub just a bit on the fenders.

Look your rim up on the internet and see what backspacing it has. Like mentioned above must be 4.5 or less.

Genzod - I'm thinking about doing the same lift but I'm looking at the terra grapplers in a LT285/75R17 that will get you to 33.84 or right at 34 tall and I planned on mounting them on my Rubicon wheels. They recommend an 8.0 wheel but they will fit on a 7.5 ..

Just a thought some people look for width others want taller..But, whatever you decide - I'm sure it will be an awesome set-up.

My Jeep mechanic ( 20 plus years building/working on jeeps) runs 16" x 8" wide cragers for any tire not exceeding 12.50 wide. He is an avid rock crawler and has yet to slip a bead.... I run 315/75/R16 no problem on a crager 8" wide. You'll here all kinds of advice for this so this is just mt opinion as well as Shane's (jeep Master)

They should fit just fine on the stock wheels. There are guys on here running even larger and wider on there stockers with no problems.
