Default Will these tires fit My stock?

Hi everyone,

I understand that this question was posted so many times in the forum before. In addition, I’ve read the helpful info in the FAQs post. In fact I don't have an experience in tire sizes. so could you please help with this?


I passed by a tire shop and found these tires:




This is how it looks besides the stock



The guy who works there said that these tires will fit my Jeep without any rubbing (I still don't believe him though). I have a 2011 2-door Sahara stock (17'' weels) and I thought you're the experts to answer such a question not the guy in the shop . So, Will these fit my Jeep without a lift and without increasing backspacing?
I’m not gonna lift my Jeep (well, at least for now)..

and if they fit, what do you think of them? I mostly play in sand dunes once a month (mudding sometimes).

Thanks in advance,
Mohammed

They will definitely rub your fenders when you flex and will rub when you turn with stock wheels. You would actually need wheels with LESS backspacing or you would need wheel spacers. Those are 34" tires. You would also need to re-program your speedometer because it would be off by about 5 mph.

You will need wheel spacers and a 2" lift or flat fenders to make these fit without rubbing and even with 2" you may have to do some minor trimming
