Default Tire Size Help
I just put the Rubicon express 2.5 bb on my Unlimited X. Does anyone know if 32 BFG muds will fit on my 16" wheels without rubbing?

Do you or anyone know if 285/75/R16 will fit on my stock rims w/out rubbing?

yes. 285 is about a 33" tire. You can go up to 305's with no problem and a 315 with minimal rubbing (if any).

although, you may need to put wheel spacers on with your stock rims.... sorry, I missed that. Once you go to a wider tire, you need to bring your stock wheels out or go to an aftermarket rim with less backspacing.
