17x8.5 -6 w/35x12.5 Stock Rubicon fit fine?

[Kev84]

I have gone over this 100 times and see no reason why they should not fit and be fine. I will be getting 2.5 lift but just not right away. Spending that much money just doubting my math before I order.

I am sure this has been asked a lot but just didn't find it..So thanks for the replies.

Should fit just fine. I’m running 17x8 with a +12 offset.

This combo will fit great on your Rubi, Kevin.

Just bear in mind that until the lift is installed, you may have experience rubbing when the suspension is flexed off-road.

Rubicon with eventual 2.5 lift you may want to think about 37s?

This will fit fine. I’m running this setup on my rubicon with a 2” lift now. I may move to 37’s next time, though. I did run this setup stock, too with no issues.

thanks

Should work if you have plastic rear bumper. I don’t know about the steel one. I did add a pvc pipe with chair leg covers as a spacer to the supports so they touched the tire. Besides that no mods to the carrier and my 37 fits fine. Slightly rubs the bumper and sits on it which I’m fine with so that way it helps support it.

I have the steel rear bumper and my 35" tire fits fine. A 37" won't fit without a relocation bracket. I did not reinforce my tailgate as this is a pretty light setup. As long as you space out your supports it should be fine. I have been off road with this setup without issues.

Thanks, that was my next question was reinforcement.

I have 35" Nitto RG's on the upgraded Rubi rims and the spare rubs on the steel bumper. How did you fix this? What do you mean by "space out the supports"?

My 35” BFGs fit fine with just about 1/8” to spare from hitting the bumper. I didn’t have to do anything else. I extended the rubber stops that are between the tailgate and tire to keep the tire from vibrating too much. In your case if the tire just barely rubs it wouldn’t be a bad thing. You can also try letting out some air from your spare. If that doesn’t work then you will need a relocation bracket.
