Default Goodyear Duratrac?

I am ordering 4 duratracs Wednesday and was wondering what the biggest size I could fit. I have a 2 door with a 2 inch lift.
Thanks

With your stock wheels, probably 33" w/o rubbing when you turn. Others on here fit 35" tires with no lift, but they have spacers or wheels with <= 4.5" backspacing.

I just put 285's (33 equivalent) on my '09 Rubi JKU today with stock wheels. They definitely rub at full turn even without flexing, but they sure do look nice.

Why only ordering 4? What about the same size for the spare?

My spare is for an emergency, if I need to use it the slightly smaller tire will suffice until i get to a tire shop.

With only 2" of lift 33s would fit no problem. If you want to move up to 35s they will rub if you go off road and disconnect the sway bars. Flat fenders or a 1" body lift would give you enough room for 35s.

You will also need either aftermarket wheels with less backspacing or wheel spacers if you plan on using the stock wheels. The tires will rub on everything if they aren't pushed out.

So a 2 inch BB and flat fenders would allow 35's?
