Depends on how wide you go. If you search for stock rim widths you'll find a thread about it. I'm running 285/65R18 tires on the stock sahara rims with no problem. Not sure what your looking at or what tire size you want but check it out.

The Sahara's tires are almost 32" stock. I had 35's on my Sahara wheels with no issues.

Look at the specs for the tires you are getting, it will list the recommended rim width range. Then talk to your installer. Some will not mount wide tires on narrow rims.

You can also look in the Wheels & Tires FAQ for all the info on the stock rims.
