Hey guys, new to the forum! Just bought a new 09 Rubicon 2 dr. First question is how large of tires can I put on the stock suspension with out lifting? Thanks for your help in advance!

 

Welcome to the group. You'll get a lot of answers on this including "do a search" as it is one of the most frequently asked questions. It depends on your terrain, driving, wheels, backspacing and .... So, I believe, 33's is generally the accepted answer but i'm sure if you do a search you'll find dozens of threads answering this for you in different ways.

 

Welcome to the forum, Cajun 1! You should definitely visit the FAQ: It has the answer to your first question--and probably many more.

Very true.. If you trim the fender flares you can fit 35s, otherwise 33s

Didn't see the location mentioned or linked, but the FAQ is stickied at the top of the Modified JK Tech area. Real good place to start for the basics, then search for an information overload, that'll give you all kinds of questions to ask...

Q: What is the biggest size tire I can fit on my stock Jeep JK Wrangler?
A: The largest tire size that the factory recommends is a 255/75R17 (which comes standard on Rubicon models) or a 32x10.50. However, there are many Jeep JK Wrangler owners who are currently running as big as 285/70R17 or 33x10.50's with little to no rubbing issues. (if you go to a 12.50 width, you'll probably need wheel spacers or aftermarket rims)


Q: What is the biggest size tire that I can I fit with a 2.5" Budget Boost?
A: 33" without any problems and 35" tires with only minor rubbing at a full flex. Depending on how wide your tires are, you may experience some rubbing at a full turn especially if you did not install an adjustable front track bar and/or are still running factory wheels which have 6.25" of back spacing.


Q: What is the biggest size tire that I can fit with a 3" lift?
A: 35" tires and depending on what lift kit you have, you may still experience some minor rubbing up front at a full flex and when turning.

 

Welcome. I put 33s and didn't feel I had enough clearance. I actually rubbed backing out of my drive way while turning to hard. So I put a 2" BB lift.
Quadratech has a spread sheet you can look at that is very basic.

 

This is completely irrelevant, but nice username.
