What wheel can I install 285/70R17 Nittos on?
I've been searching high and low,but cant find a direct answer that i need.So,that being said,I have a 2012 Unlimited Sport w/ 373 gears,2.5" Teraflex suspension w/ Bilstein 5100 series shocks.Can i install some 285/70R17 Nitto Trail Grappler M/T on the 17x7.5 stock wheels with no rubbing or spacers? If not,what back spacing and/or offset will i need to look for on a after market wheel? Also,what width is best to accommodate these tires?

I ran 295 70 17 Nitto Terra grapplers on my stock 17's, needed atleast 1" spacer to avoid rubbing when flexed. I used 1.5 spacers and worked great.

Check the manufacture's spec sheet for wheel width. I had KM2s in that size on 17X8 wheels with 4.5" back spacing with out any rubbing. Those tires will rub on stock wheels and no wheel spacers.

Thanks for the reply,but I've seen several post stating no rubbing or spacers on different tires,but i really like the Nittos.Several friends run these tires on their F-350's for their construction/oilfield business and in their daily driving.The pull trailers up to 10,000#'s.The hold up well and get great mileage out of them. Thats why i'm looking for info on these certain tires.
