Can anyone tell me if a Goodyear wrangler duratrac 285/70/17 will fit on my stock 2011 wheels and will they fit on my jeep without a lift or wheel spacers. My fenders are cut.

May need wheel spacers. You can run them without, but they may rub at full lock.

yes, you'll be fine.
The 34 actually will small down once mounted and riding under the Jeep.
Their actual ride size will be more like 33.4 to 33.6 depending on the weight
of your rig.

i have a 2013 with 3.21's and unless you are a total flat lander I would not go with anything close to 34's.

I was going to add that the 3.21's would make him drag his ass,
but I figured I'd let the next bloke have the honors of doing that.
