Default 32x11.5

I’ve got a question. So I’ve got stock rims and tires on my Sahara and want to know how to fit a wider tire (32x11.5) on my stock rims with it rubbing anything. Fenders suspension etc... I don’t really have a desire to have a taller tire just want a larger footprint. Can I make this fit without issues?

Wheell spacers... spidertrax might be a brand to look at!

Ok sweet do you know if I would have any rubbing on the fenders because if I have the wheels stick out and go off-roading I’m afraid it’ll flex and hit my fenders

You might not, I ran 33's with wheel spacers for a while... it didn't rub the fenders... but every brand tire size is different, as well as every jeep has different springs.... I can't imagine that 32's would rub badly.

I am running 32" 285 70r 17 BF Goodrich All Terrain tires on stock 2013 Rubicon rims, and I experienced some rubbing when the steering was at full lock. I added spacers, and it solved the rubbing issue, but changed the handling on my 2 door. I ended up getting new heavy duty KYB shocks, and an alignment, because spacers will change the steering geometry......My 2 cents......Mike

ok so what would be the widest I could add without spacers maybe just adding washers to the steering stops? I’d prefer to do that would an 11 inch wide tire be better than an 11.5?
