Default tire question

can I run 285/70/r17 on my stock jeep without lifting. I plan on at least a leveling kit if not 2 '' in the future. cant afford all at once and don't want to go with 265/70/r17 then regret it later. so question can I run the bigger tire for a couple of months without any rubbing?

Has to be the most asked question on the forum man, lol. But yes you can, especially if you cut your fenders.

Ain't that the truth. I ran. 35" tires on a leveling kit for almost a year.

You might rub a little at full turn but you can get by if you take it easy till you get different wheels or spacers.
