Default Largest stock size on rubicon rims

without spacers and lift i was thinking 265 or 275? I also want to put a leveling spacer on the front but unsure which brand.

This has been discussed ad nauseum here. It depends on:

1. Backspacing of the wheel
2. How you intend to drive it.
3. Probably a billion other variables

If you want to go off road with a lot of articulation and no rubbing I think 265 is about your limit. If you want to just drive to the mall you could go as high as 285, but the moment you start going to full steering lock, or articulating you are going to have issues most likely.

Do a search on this topic and you will find a ton of posts about the max size for a stock JK, backspacing, spacers, etc.
