Default Rubicon tires on 'X' with stock 17" wheels

Just curious, can the tires from a Rubicon go on the 'X' model without modifying the suspension?

I am pretty sure the Rubicon stock tires are 32", but don't know what the 'X' size is. I am assuming the only change would be the speedo calibration.

Ditto. Running Rubicon tires on my X. No issues.

Cool.

So, what is the height difference between the 17" tires on the 'X' and the 17" tires on the Rubi? Just wondering if it would be worth swapping, if presented with the opportunity.

I think I just answered my own question. The tire size on the 'X' 17" wheels is 255/75, which makes a diameter of 32" sooooo, they are the same exact size as the tires on the Rubi.

So I guess the Rubi tires aren't any bigger, they just look like they are.
