36x13.50x17 IROKs
Does any one think that 36x13.50x17 IROKs will fit on stock rubicon wheels? i kinda like the wheels and if i scratch them all to hell i wont feel so bad i just dont know if the width is too wide for the 8 inch rim. i know you can do 12.50 on a 8 inch.

People do it...it fits, works off road, etc.
The side walls protect the rims somewhat - on road, the wider the rim, the less squirrely the sidewall squirm/roll is...so its a compromise.
Some tires are more senstive to the rim width, others are pretty flexible about their mounting ranges.
When the tire makers give a rim range recommendation, is street based, and doesn't take into account the compromises an off road user might be willing to make, etc.
