Default How large of a tire?

I have a 2012 Wrangler Sport S with stock 17 wheels. I'm replacing them with some American wheels that say the have a 4.5" offset. Any idea how large a tire I could run without spacers or a lift kit?

Same as always... 33 12.5s..... 35s will fit but you wont be off roading with no flex.

Second that ^^^^^^^ If you're not wanting to go crazy you should take a look at the Teraflex suspension leveling kit and get some flat fenders. You'll be able to run 35's.

I'm running 35 x 12.50 on a teraflex leveling kit. I'll have to trim the fenders and the pinch seem before I can do much flexing.
