Need Verification on Tire + Wheel + Stock JK
I've read through a ton of stuff on this forum and every other forum and I think the combo that I've come up with will go on my 2012 JK Unlimited without a lift but I want to put it other there to get some confirmations in case I missed something or misread something.
I'm looking to pick up a 17x9 set of XD Series Rockstars that have a backspacing of 4.53" and throwing a set of 33x12.5 Nitto Mud Grapplers on them. Can anyone fore see any issues with the tires going on the wheels or the the whole thing going on a stock JK Unlimited?
I was considering going with 20" wheels since I like the big wheel look but I just couldn't justify the added $1000 to go from 17s to 20s. (You'd figure that as there's more wheel and less tire both prices wouldn't go up as wheel size increased
)
Also, Discount Tire has both the tires and wheels that I want, but I'm in Canada. Anyone know if they ship and how much they charge? Or a site to buy them in Canada?
Many thanks!

I am in Canada too but I am having my wheels and tires shipped to the border and then picking them up myself to save some coin. I believe that shipping with taxes and brokerage works out to around $100 per wheel/tire so $400-$500 depending on if you are ordering 4 or 5 wheels. You can calculate the charge on discount tires and website.
