Default One more tire question
I need some advice from the pros. I have an 08 JK 2 door with a Teraflex leveling kit and then added bilstein 5100s for a 2.5 inch lift. Today I ordered 285/75r17 nitto trail grapplers on 17x9 rims. I'm sure I will clear them on road but is there anything I should / must change before taking it off the road?

Should be good, you may get a small amount of rub at full stuff in the front.

Oh, one thing you can do after you get them mounted use a jack and stuff them and see the clearance. Are you planning on disconnecting?

With right offset on the wheels you shouldn't have any rubbing.

Just don't disconnect or you WILL rub. Even with the right rims.
