Default 305/70 R17 tires on stock Sahara wheels
Hi,

Just installed Old Man Emu's lift kit on my 2DR 2011 JK Sahara... I am searching for tires now and I am looking at Maxxis 305/70 R17 Mudders. Anyone know what size spacers would I need to add to my stock wheels to fit them? Also, would I be able to fit the spare tire?

I have also looked at 285/70s but seem a bit small for the lift... anyone have pics?

Thanks a lot.

The standard 1.5 inch spacers should just do the trick and I'm going to say no to the tire carrier

It would be snug on the tailgate but it might fit. I have aftermarket wheels but u can get an idea from these pics.
