I' a first time jeeper and was wondering about what will fit on a stock Sahara 18" wheel. The jeep is totally stock, and is a 2dr. I was liking them Goodyear Dura Tracs and was thinking of the 275/70-r18, or the 275/65-r18 I am not putting a lift on for at least 1 year, and I am not familiar with the "rubbing issues" everybody refers to. Are either of these tires going to pose a problem? Or should I be looking at something different? Is this going to rub something? Thanks for looking.

 

youll need spacers on stock rims for more backspacing. You might need to trim some spots on the fenders and the air dam.

 

there are alot of people running bigger tires on stock wheels on this site. do a search and see what comes up. i know you will need spacers if you want to minimize your rubbing at full turn.

 

Here is the link to the FAQ. Start in the Wheels & Tires section.

That will give some info on tire height, width, backspacing, spacers, psi, etc...


If you're staying with stock rims, what you want to consider is the tire width. 10.50's won't have any problems. 12.50's will probably rub, and you'll likely need to trim or crank in the steerstops, or both.
