Hey all! This is a question of wheel spacers or no. I'm getting new tires for the wife's 2010 JKUS in about a month. I have decided on duratracs and am not sure what I should do for size. I'd really like to see it on 33's but I have a dilemma. I can go with the for surely perfect fit of 275/65 R18 for a size of 32.1" or I can go with the 295/65 R18 for 33.1" The 295/65 is supposed to go on a 8-10" rim, the 275/65 can go on a 7.5-9" We will be on stock rims. I really would like to go to the larger tire, but I need to know if I will need wheel spacers, also am I going to need a procal to recalibrate speedo for either size tires? I'm not worried about gearing as we have the 3.73's and it is a city/beach mobile only.

Cheers,

If the tire is 12.5" or wider then you will want a spacer if mounted on the stock wheel to prevent rubbing while turning
