I have an 18 Sahara with the spoked wheels which I believe are 18 x7.5? What size tire can I go up to without a lift and have no rubbing? TIA

Probably no wider than a 285, so a 285/65/18, not quite 33 but about 32.5
https://simpletire.com/catalog?sele...meta=72&sort=price&order=asc&query=tire-sizes
A 275/70/18 will be a bit taller than 33 but ok since it's not too wide
https://simpletire.com/tire-sizes/p275-70r-18-tires
33x12.5x18s have plenty of choices but will have inner clearance issues w/ the stock wheels

Blnewt makes a good suggestion with the 275/70R-18 and 285/65R-18 sizes. 265/70R-18 may be a consideration for you as well.

I just picked up my 2020 Sahara a couple weeks ago and put 265/70/18 Cooper at3 4s on there. They fit and look great.

You have any more pictures with this setup? Looking to do the same tires on my Sahara ?

This winter I'm going Michelin X-Ice 265 R70 18 Versus last year Nokian HAKK LT3 D8 121/118Q I believe the Michelin will perform smoother and maybe a slight noise reduction and fuel economy. The Nokian were robust and you could have them studded, but rolling resistance was slightly noticeable especially on dry highway. Probably a better tire for those Rig guy's that need access to their job site driving thru heavy snow and Ice covered roads.
