Default New Tires

I have an 08 Unlimited Sahara with stock wheels and the 2.5" TF Lift

Looking at upgrading the tires as mine are done. Got 40k miles on them.

275/70R18 E Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac....The wheels on the Sahara at 7.5" width correct? So these tires should fit. According to Goodyear 7.0-8.5 is the approved wheel width.

Let me know if I am over looking anything. They are 33.5" Tires.

Your good to go with those. Any wider you will probly have rubbing issues without using spacers.

Forgot to mention I have 1.25" Spacers front and back. Sorry. But thanks for the return on info. Just wanted to make sure the width of the tire/wheel wasn't different than what I was reading/thinking.
