Hey I am looking to upgrade my JL sport S tires with the stock Rubicon factory BFGoodrich KO2s 33's. Does anyone know if these rub at all or affect the awesome turning radius the wrangler has without putting a lift? I am new to the wrangler family so I am learning. :)

The JL are advertised as capable of clearing 35" stock.



You'll see in this video, our R&D team cycling a 35" tire with stock wheels

Not denying that you guys were using a 35 on the Sport in the video, but only the Rubicons are advertised as clearing 35s stock.

I have a Sahara Unlimited with a lift with 35x12.5R18 K02’s and my front tires rub if I turn real sharp. I talked with the dealer where I purchased the Jeep and they said that they did not put wheel spacers on it because they didn’t want the tires to stick out. I’m getting ready to purchase Spidertrax wheel spacers.

No rub at all! Zero problems!
