Rubicon tires
Getting ready to upgrade my stock 11 Rubicon with some new tires but want to go a lil bigger. I have noticed that my rock rails stick out past the wheel well in the front but not the back. I saw a thread on here about a guy who cut his down but was wondering if anyone has put 285/70R17 tires on a stock 11 Rubicon without having to cut them down. Please show me some pics of how bad ass they look before I go spend the money please. Please let me know if there is any rubbing issues at all with the sway bar disconnect because I do alot of wheeling.

I don't think that would work.when we lifted my jk to install the wheels.the stock drivers side tires where touching the bar.when the new wheels were installed with the bigger tires(285/70r17)there was no touching,there was room in between the bar n tire.

285/70/17's (33s) will not hit Rubi rails. Your good to go.
Might hit rear sway bar without spacers. Depends on tire.
