Largest tires I can put on my stock Rubicon wheels?

[shekmark]

Just did mine this week. Love the tucked in look. I am having spare tire issues. The shop told me it would not fit so they put it on with my old wheel spacers. Looks like the third tail light gets in the way? I didn’t try it myself. Did any of you guys have to change anything back there, or do you push it on and flex the light bracket back?

Can't help, went with a 4 tire setup, 5th tire gets thrown in the back of the Jeep only when I go offroading :/

the 3rd brake light adjusts up so it will be out of the way of the 35" tire. Then no wheel spacers needed.

All -- what are your experiences with airing down 35's+ on stock Rubicon rims? Any issues with holding a bead? How low of pressure have you run? I used to run <10psi on my TJ with AEV wheels for 1,000's of miles without issue and am just curious if the 7.5" wide rims hold a bead and what the lower limit on pressure might be. Lots of variables underlying in the question, but the low pressure works well for spring snow wheeling.

when i had 35x12.5's on my stock wheels i ran 15 psi no issues. Was told that the thinner wheel actually makes it harder for the bead to pop. Have heard that setup referred to as the poor mans beadlock

Yokohama GOO 3 285.75.17 keeps ya inside the stock fender. Measures 34 and weighs 86# on stock rubi wheels.

I like the stock wheel design because it’s easy to clean. Some of the really cool looking wheels require dental floss to get clean. That mall muck is persistent stuff.

you have any pics?

Off subject but, what type of rock rails and front bumper are you running?

So I’m not sure if you quoted the wrong person(only say that because I have a stock steel front bumber). My side steps are Roam frame mounted.

35x12.5R17 BFG KO2s on stock Moab wheels with 1.75” wheel spacers.

I run the truest 35'' tire you can mount on stock wheels, 35x12.5r17 TOYO MT on a completely stock height JL. I've
flexed it out over a variety of terrain in CO's Pike National Forest w/o any rubbing or issues. 37's would def need spacers and inner/outer fender mods but the 35's tuck perfectly.

He said 'stock suspension'....any 37'' tire will work with a 2.5'' lift. great looking Jeep though LOVE that bikini blue.

LOD Destroyer for both. Bumper is mid length.

Hey there. I know tire size questions get tiresome but I did a quick search and didn't find an answer. I have a 2019 Rubicon and I really like the stock rubicon wheels. I want to run with 35 inch tires on these rims without adding a lift. I know I can run 35s on the rubicon but I never see it on the stock wheels. I don't think I can get 35x12.5s on these rims. Im just curious what 35s people have put on the stock rims without spacers. Thanks for any help?insight.

37” BFG KM3s on stock Rubi wheels. No spacers. No trimming. No issues at all.
