[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 440254, member: 18877"] Interesting that your size tire is fitting on the vehicle with stock wheels. I will have to change the advice I've been giving. Can you post of pic of the exact stock wheels you have please? Stock image is fine. I ask for the simple reason, that when I tried to put on the slightly smaller, but same width tire of 285 70 17 on my 2009 rubicon U, they couldn't be put on the vehicle at all. I don't remember exactly what they impacted but it was the rear tires. Stopped operation and went back to old tires for a week until I got new wheels. [ATTACH type="full"]119506[/ATTACH] These where the ones I had, and I'm fairly certain that all JK wheels (except for the 16" basic ones) have that 7.5" width, and all have something around 6.25 backspacing, all the same. To me this means that there was a change of some sort in the rear wheel hub area that allows for wider tires on stock wheels, possibly when they switched to the 3.6... Hmm. [/QUOTE]
