Default Not another tire thread....well kinda

I just bought a 2018 JK 2 door Oscar Mike edition and was wondering what's the largest tire I can put on stock wheels. I plan on putting a leveling kit on, but don't really want to lift it. My last Jeep had a 4" lift with 35's and I'm getting too old to climb up in something like that anymore!! I do plan on putting flat fenders on. I don't do any rock climbing or anything crazy, mostly just running trails. I also DON'T want to run spacers!! Thanks in advance!!!

This has been answered hundreds of times over, but you can fit as large of a tire on the stock wheels as you can get mounted. I have run with a couple guys that had 37s on their stock wheels.

If you want it to fit without any modification or rubbing, then 32" is as big as you can go. Seriously. Most 33s will rub up front either on the sway bar or the plastic air dam. You can fit 35s with flat fenders, but there isn't enough backspacing on the wheels to let you steer very well. You can add washers to your steering stops to help there. Proper spacers are fine and there are thousands of people that have or do run with them safely. Just have to mind your torque settings.
