255 80 17 Stock rims no lift?

[JohnnyBlaze]

Anyone running these pizza cutters on stock wheels with no lift (jlu sport)? Looking to do some mild wheeling, don’t want to worry about rubbing . Should I get a 2 inch spacer lift to play it safe?

This looks very clean - It is difficult to imagine you felt the effect of the 255/80's - but in your experience were the Falkens and the 255's the way to go?

here is a sport S with rubicon wheels and stock 285/70/17 wild peak M/T tires. 0 rub not really a need to lift your jeep with the 255/80/17

If you disconnect your sway bar you’ll rub id have to assume, you dont have much clearance on your fenders. If you get highline rubicon flares or aftermarket I’m sure youd do much better for mild off roading.

No that's why I replaced them with Kenda 35x10.5r17.

2 inch Teraflex lift kit, 2020 Sport on stock steel wheels. No rubbing, measuring 34 inches at 38 PSI.
