Default These wheels will fit... right?

Got a 2014 JK 2d sport, bone stock- no spacers, no lift.

Need to confirm that these will fit without rubbing the fenders/calipers.

Level 8 Tracker
15X8 5-127 -19MTB

Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac
33X12.50R15C2 108Q W

(If you have this combo, please post some pics!)

I was running 15 inch rims and 35's with no lift but cut my fenders and pinch seam. My guess is you will rub with the 12.5 tire with steering at full lock. I've since put on a 2.5 inch lift. If you put on a leveling kit that would help

Yes...with a 12.50 tire, you'll rub the frame a little when turning full lock. Can either add spaces or adjust your steering stops to compensate. I'm running 37x12.50-17 on 2.5" of lift and mind rub at full lock. Doesn't bother me because it's not enough to notice until you look in the wheel well and see the rub marks on the frame.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Talked to a DTD rep and he said that they will not fit on a sport, but will on a rubi.

Can anybody confirm/deny whether they fit on a Sport S stock suspension?

I have a 4 door sport and they fit but rubbed at full lock. Not sure why they would fit a rubi and not a sport

What is the backspacing of the wheel? If it is at least 4.5" you should be fine. With 12.5" wide tires, you will rub on a lot of stuff if the backspacing isn't right.

-19 offset, so about 3.75'' of backspacing.

Anybody have this set up? Chime in!
