[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 438537, member: 18877"] [USER=18221]@BLACKJKU[/USER] is right. Anything wider than the stock tire size won't fit. I personally would never put wheel spacers on as they add a hard to check catastrophic failure point, there are a number of shops that won't work on your tires if you have spacers because of the liability. however I'm aware that people still use them. I would ask your shop before going that route. The stock wheels don't really allow for anything bigger as there is not enough backspacing, also being only 7.5 limits your tire choices. A local jeeper in my town has the stock sized tires but picked up some pro-comp steelie wheels that he paid less than $90 for each. Though they are up in price now, still probably the cheaper option. They are 17 x 9 and man do they look good. They moved the tires out a bit and made them look wider, I thought he had 33" on it. remember Jks have a 5 x 5 bolt pattern. You can us this website to do tire comparisons. [URL unfurl="true"]https://tiresize.com/comparison/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
