Default Mb tko

I found a guy selling MB TKO with BFG All Terrain KO. They are 285/70/17, will these rub on a stock Rubicon?

Thanks

I'd say yes; if you search around this forum you'll find all kind of info related to tire/rim sizes stock OEM height and with some lift. Your OEM Moab rims are ~6.25" backspace; the MB TKO rims are ~4.5" this sets the wider 285 tires out even with or slightly past the outside edge of the Rubi fender flares. These pica are Goodyear Wrangler DuraTracs on MB TKO 17" rims underneath a 2.5 OME lift. No wheel spacers.

Yes, on stock rims with no spacers they'll rub at full lock. My 285/70/17 GY Silent Armors on a 4.5"bs rim stick out approx 1.5" past the flares.

you will have no problems mounting those up to a stock jeep... you might get some minor rubbing at full lock on the front air dam but a hack saw can take care of that... off road you might rub a little with your sway bars disconnected and flexing but you can fix this with some bump stops.
