Default Stock Jk wheels and 315/70/17

I recently bought a set of 4 315/70/17 pro comp tires with 17x9 pro comp wheels but the lug patterns are different. Therefore I was wondering if I can put the 315/70/17 on my stock 17 x 9 wheels and if there would be any rubbing issues. Pics are included of my stock rims. Any help would be appreciated.

I thought about that too but I've heard that adds a lot of additional stress to the Jeep. Idk....was looking at all the options. I got a good deal on the set but they have been sitting in the garage since I got them!

For the record, your stock wheels are 17x7.5, not 17x9. And, like said, you could go with some spacers to run them on stock wheels. Spidertrax 1.5" would be my recommendation. Pick a set of those up for around $200 then sell the procomps to offset some of the cost.

I run 1.5" spacers and as for the size of the rim it doesn't seem to be an issue. Because of the profile of the tire the sidewall is quite large and therefore the bead stays seated on the rim even when 7.5" wide.
