Default Stock rubicon wheels

Does anyone know the wheel size and offset for the stock Rubicon rims? I want to see what the biggest tire is that I can put on without going to new rims. Also want to make sure tire don't rub.
Thanks

Stuck right to the top of this modified area is a thread with " FAQ's" in the title. You should find rim width and backspace info there.

stock backspacing is 6.25" you can run 285/75-17 i.e. 34's if you remove your plastic air dam. very slight rubbing on front sway bar and close to rear driver side lower control arm. it is 7.5" wide and most tire manufacturers will spec what size rim their tires will go on.

Are the tires rubbing on something inside the wheel wells? If they are, and you want to move them out to prevent the rubbing, then yes...
