Default will 315's work without rubbing

if i put a 2" leveling kit under my 2011 jk unlimited and put 315/70r17's on will I get rubbing. they are almost 34.7" x 12.7 wide. also decreasing backspacing makes the tires sit out further from the jeep so when the tires sit out wider does this increase or decrease the chance of rubbing?

As long as you have less back spacing you will be okay. It definitly will rub on stock rims.

i put aev savegres on mine, i think they have 4.5" bs and the 315's rub on the front when i disconect. and they also rubbed on the front air dam until i trimmed it back. i have a 2.5" bb so with a 2" i think it would rub a little more than mine.

They might rub on bigger potholes or speed bumps.

I have that exact size on my JK. I have a 2dr and they measure just over 33" tall with the load of the vehicle measuring from the ground up to the center of the wheel center cap and then doubling that measurement. I have a 4" lift and no rubbing.

How wide are they? I am running 4.5" BS with 315's that are 12.50 wide with no rubbing at all.
