I have a 2.5” lift and 3.73 gears, those aren’t an issue.

Would like to go a bigger tire, while using the stock willys(same as rubicon) wheels.

Will 285/75 cause any rub?
Could I run 35 or 315s with no rub, due to the 2.5” lift?

Don’t want spacers or new wheels.

TIA!

I ran 285's on 4.75" BS wheels and they rubbed the inner fender and sway bar quite a bit at near-full lock (on a 2.5" MC Gamechanger). With factory wheels, you'll very likely have a considerable amount of rub, and potentially may hit the control arm too.

They will be with 35"s or even heavy 33"s :)
