I have a 2010, 2 door with a 2.5" lift.
I am looking at some 285/65/18's ( Nitto Trail Grappler )and i beleive they will rub since they are wider than stock.
How much will they rub, is it just at the extremes? Can i drive around town untill my spacers show up?
I want to get the tires this weekend, but wheel spacers are taking a while to deliver.
Stock 18" Wheels FYI
Thanks

 

You might want to price out 16" tires with new wheels with a 4.5" back spacing, it might be cheaper then buying 18" tires and a set of spacers.
And to answer you questions they will rub but not too bad, if just driving around on the road you should be fine. Running off road disconnected at full flex you will rub the fenders if you have the factory bump stops.

 

You realize those are a heavy truck tire right?

 

Yes, but have heard good things about then from fellow jeepers.
What would you suggest as an alternative?

 

Something in a C or D weight range. Personally I would go with a goodyear duratrac for a great all around tire in that size range.
