Post Tire Help

Hey guys,
im new to all of this so bare with me.

I have completely stock '07 2 door and wanted to get rid of the 17' SRA tires that came with it. I was thinking of getting BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM tires and keeping my 17' wheels. If the tire was going to be a little more than 32' would i be fine with rubbing, ect. would i need spacers? what if i was to put a lift of 2-2.5 inches on?

Thanks in advance

hey jbfp89, welcome to JK-Forum.

to answer your question, you can install 33's on your factory wheels with stock height and without too much trouble. rubbing at a full turn may be an issue and on the trail, you might see some there as well. if you install wheel spacers, you will be able to eliminate these issues. likewise, if you were to install a 2.5" BB, you could actually install up to 35" tires.
