Will My New Tires Fit on The Stock Carrier
I am getting the 285/70/17 BFG KM2 Tires. Does anyone know if these will fit on the stock carrier. Any info you guys have would be great. I am supposed to get these installed on monday and I just thought about this now. Thanks in advance.:thumbsup:

yup:thumbsup:i had a 35 on mine:thumbsup:

I have a 315/70/R17 tire on a stock 17" rim on my stock tire carrier right now. The dealer had a Jeep with the same size tire you have and it fit no problem. I just had to cut an inch off the rubber bumpers on the tailgate.

I guess I should have also noted I wanted to use the stock bumper as well. I am using 17x8 wheels with 4.25" backspacing.

What wheels are you running? The backspacing makes the difference, I run the 35"12.50 17 on a 17x9 WE Beadlock with a 4" backspacing. No problems, lot's of room!

Brigitta, you may want to consider the extended rubber bumps on the tailgate. That looks a little too far from them for comfort. Mine is a stock wheel, so it's really close to the tailgate but rests against the rubber bumps I cut down.

I just got my wheels and tires today and all looks good, BUT. I have the same problem they stick out away from the rubber bumper stops. Anyone know where to get some longer ones from THANKS

:werdsign: yep - I ran a 34 for less than a year and I started hearing a very anoying tick/rattle sound. It didn't take 5 seconds of examining to see the problem. I had 3 broken welds. Within a couple weeks, 3 turned into 5. I put my stock donut on and returned to the dealer and thank God, they fixed it, but they good-willed it. Said they knew I was running a bigger spare and they would not cover again. I have a good friend who owns a Jeep build shop and he said if you wheel, that will happen - period. If you're a mall crawler, you're less likely, but be very careful shutting your gate and don't let it swing out to the hinge stops on a downhill. http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/a.../BADWELDS2.jpg http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/a...9/BADWELDS.jpg |
