Jeep Wrangler 2020 - Wheel & Tire Sizes, PCD, Offset and Rims specs - Wheel-Size.comHappened across your build page while searching for tire info. What site did this come from? Did you measure the parameters on the left yourself?
I was debating different similar-ish tire sizes for my stock Willys wheels: 285/70/17, 285/75/17, 295/70/17, 35x11.5. Wouldn't want to deal with trying something as wide or heavy as 315s. I have take-off Rubicon suspension/fenders but the stock Sport axles, and wanted to see if I could figure out any potential clearance issues.
I haven't seen many complaints about 285/70 or 285/75 width (rubi take-off width), but I saw in general 295/70 is (10mm) .4" wider, and 35x11.5 is .3" wider than the 285s. Of those, in particular most looking at the Toyo AT3 on 285/75/17/C (33.9"x 11.3", 59lbs on tiresize.com) and 35x11.5"/C (34.5"x11.4", 63lbs).
The link in that above post is the website those data came from. I selected the stock Sahara config listed on that site and compared that to the eventual setup I was building towards.
Given that you have a decent lift height and the high fenders, I am sure you are on stock Willys Moab rims (which IMO are amazing-looking wheels), and you are worried about the clearance to suspension components at full lock?
A tire that is, say 0.4" wider would need 0.2" clearance on the inner side. If you are already on 285/70/17 you can run your finger where the tire is nearest to LCA at full lock and get a feel of whether there is at least half an inch of clearance. If you are on the stock tire, you can ask a friend on the forum who has Rubi takeoff-s on sport Sahara to do this assessment for you.
My scenario is a bit different from stock rims as I have a +30 offset wheel that accounts for the lost axle width clearance compared to Rubicon; hence I was confident 11.5" wide is going to be easy street as I can somewhat fit 315s too
