Default Wheel and tire question

Can I run an 18" x 9" wheel and 285/70/18 tires without rubbing while making full turns? Not too concerned about offroad issues, mostly a daily driver. Thanks. 07 unlimited x

You'll be fine.... and even, that's even, you do rub...it'll be at full lock and it'll be the slightest bit. You don't also fully lock when you're doing 40+ mph - when you'd do the most damage. Follow me?
