I have decided to go with Hankook 285/70/17 (33 inch) tires on stock Rubi wheels. I currently have a OME HD lift on my 2 dr. Will I need wheel spacers? If so, what size? 1.25? 1.5?

Thanks,
Vince

 

Q: What is the biggest size tire I can fit on my stock Jeep JK Wrangler?
A: The largest tire size that the factory recommends is a 255/75R17 (which comes standard on Rubicon models) or a 32x10.50. However, there are many Jeep JK Wrangler owners who are currently running as big as 285/70R17 or 33x10.50's with little to no rubbing issues.


Q: What is the biggest size tire that I can I fit with a 2.5" Budget Boost?
A: 33" without any problems and 35" tires with only minor rubbing at a full flex. Depending on how wide your tires are, you may experience some rubbing at a full turn especially if you did not install an adjustable front track bar and/or are still running factory wheels which have 6.25" of back spacing.

 

you can run the tires fine without spacers. some people do however have very minor rubbing at full turn.

 

Thanks a bunch for the quick replies. Appreciate it.

I have 285/70/17 tires and no spacers right now. On mine, it only rubs a little at full left turn. Nothing at full right. I'm going to put spacers on. Mostly because I like the look, but I don't think they are necessary on my rig.
