Default Opinion Please

Does anyone have any thoughts on tire clearance issues with this setup:

08 Rubicon 2 DR, 2" Rubicon Express BB/ Mono shocks, Fab Fours front Bumper/ Warn 9000RC winch, Warn Rear Bumper, BF TA KM2 285/70/17 on Stock Rubicon Rims.

If anyone has a photo of a comparable setup it would be appreciated.

Will probably rub on the driver side brake line at full turn. Mine did this with the stock tires. I'm currently running 5.75" of Back spacing vs stock of 6.25" and I'm running 285/70/17 with no lift and no rubbing.

Not sure what you mean. Are you saying if I add spacers 1.5 it won't be a problem?

If you just add the tires you will have minor rubbing at full turn. If you add 2" lift and 1.5" spacers you will have no problems clearing 33x12.50. I was saying to clear the same size tire you wanted I only need .5" more back spacing than stock. I tired to post pics but I'm having problems with file size you can see picutes in my.project JK under 2 door flame red.

5.75 to 6.25" = 0.5" spacing cleared 285's at full lock.



1.5" spacers would take your 6.25" BS, and result in the equivalent of 4.75" BS.
