They are 32.7" according to this chart. http://www.net-comber.com/tirecalc.html I bet if you got rid of the air dam you would get rid of the rubbing.

jeep looks sharp. I'm about to buy the same tires for my stock 2011 JK Sport. What size spacer did you get and do the tires still fit inside the fenders? Here in Maine they can't stick out from under the fender. Looks like there is plenty of room height wise. Thanks

I don't remember what size spacer it was. I actually don't have the Jeep anymore. I had to upsize to something bigger as the family got bigger. Wish I could afford to keep the Jeep as a weekend ride though. You won't have any problems with the tires sticking out beyond the fenders. We have the same law in VA, but the amount they will stick out beyond the fender is barely noticable, if at all. I highly recommend those tires though. They were awesome on any terrain.

I have nitto trails and they would suck in the winter so I switch back to stock.
When the frost starts the part of the tire touching the ground freezes so that when you drive it feels like your tires have a bag of sand strapped to half of the tire due to the thickness at least until they warm up.
Did you have any problems like that or any slipping on the road?

Here are my new Duratracs. These are 285/70/17, with no spacers and no lift. They rub just a bit on a sharp turn, but doesn't seem to be a big deal.
I'm thinking I may want some spacers for a bit of a wider stance. How many inches should I get?
UPDATED PICS with spacers in the snow.
