2018 JL Sport fit Rubi take offs (100% stock)

[LostWrangler]

Hey, I know this is all over... There is conflicting word sometimes and I am going to be spending money soon hopefully.

I don't plan on lifting or leveling super soon(its a daily as well), but I would like bigger tires and Rubi takeoffs seem to be a good deal for better looking rims than my current stock and bigger tires for a set of 5. I just want to be confident they will fit without any of the above or spacers.

so for the 1,000,000th time, will they fit without rubbing or bad rubbing on stock 2018 JL sport and will it fit the spare tire (i will have to pick it up most likely and need to make space for 5 tires.)

Thanks for putting up with this, Im just wanting to be CONFIDENT on the fit.

Keep wheelin'

They might fit, it's possible.

Im just playing man. I don't know about your spare tire but yes Rubi wheels will fit on a sport. Rubbing; what size tires are going with?

 

[LostWrangler]

haha fair, id be going from 245/75r17 to the 285/70r17 (Ko2 or Peaks hopefully) im assuming they will and im just being a paranoid wimp because i don't want to waste money

They will fit, you'll be fine, just keep in mind that Rubicon's have longer axles than your Sport.

Yes, they will fit. Spare tire should, too.

I just put a set of Rubicon takeoffs on a 2019 Sport S along with the spare. They fit and look great and the spare even fit. The tires and wheels I found had KO's on them. My impression of the wheels and tries are quite favorable. It rides and drives much better than the stock wheels, plus the tires are quieter than the OEM tires. Maybe this is due to the wear I had on the OEM's which really surprised me. I mainly drive on gravel roads and some forest roads, there has been no rubbing. Before and after photos.

You will need to shorten/trim the little bumpers behind the spare due to the wider tire.

Thanks, I see what you mean, I will tak a look at it.

They look great! Crazy how different it makes it look, spare fit without trimming the bumpers like adamG mentioned? I’ll be driving a good ways to get them so I probably won’t be able to trim them right away

Why can’t you throw the spare in the back?

2 door going to be throwing 4 in there to begin with will probably be tight I don’t think I can fit a 5th haha

How far you going? You'll be able to get it on and just tighten the nuts, it won’t sit straight but to just get home, no big deal. Or yank the bumpers out first. And if your back seat is out, you’ll be able to get all 5 inside, if you’re ok with one on the pass seat. I got 4 33s and 1 35 inside.

it will be a few hours, you put the 5th in your passenger seat or pushed the seat fully forward? I dont care about it being crooked on the way back as long as its secure and can adjust everything later.
