I am thinking about getting ProComp 315/70 M/T's and putting them on my stock rubicon wheels. I have a 2 door rubicon and will probably get the ProComp 2" leveling kit as well. Does anyone know or think I will have an issue off road with any rubbing due to back spacing or height?I have heard it from both people with 35's on stock wheels, and at least one individual with 4.5" backspaced 17x9 wheels. So it's an issue either way.
Not with that setup. You should be fine.I am thinking about getting ProComp 315/70 M/T's and putting them on my stock rubicon wheels.

Hey those rims look GREAT - exactly what I’m looking for! Are they Method Roosts? (Pic attached) - if so how did you black out the silver hub rings on the side shots? Perfect rim
Was doing some clearance testing on our mid-width bumper and thought these photos may be of interest:
The only contact point is the grill, so it looks like that will either need to be trimmed, more bump will need to be added, or we will have to take out some steering. All other clearance looks pretty good.
- Lift is a Mopar 2" with the kit's bump stop extensions
- Tires are 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers
- Wheels are Mamba M14 Intel 17 x 9" with 5.47" backspacing
ThisHard to say what ideal offset/backspacing would be as everyone has different tastes and uses for their Jeeps, and different tire sizing. Ideal offset for minimal fender poke on a 8.5 would be in the +18 range from what info I've been getting, and +25 on a 9 (using a 12.5 tire width).
YMMV
What’s the most backspacing we can use for a Sport or Sahara? Is 3.5 too low or 5+ too much?I believe with the Rubicon's you can get away with 5 to 5.5" of backspace. Quadratec, AEV and Mopar have the most options for the increased offsets. Trail Ready and Raceline for beadlocks.
Depends how much tire you want to run, up to a 12.5" (315) width you can run offsets in the +18 on a 8.5" or +25 on a 9, should be about 5.5 backspacing I believe.What’s the most backspacing we can use for a Sport or Sahara? Is 3.5 too low or 5+ too much?
