I have stock 07 4D Sahara with a 2" budget boost. Would this eliminate any rubbing if I wanted the 275/70-18 put on? Or would I still have an issue. Thanks for all the other input in this thread.

I've only got about 800 miles on my 315/70/R17 load range D Duratracs, running at about 35 psi, and they are great! I have a pretty good mix of city and hwy driving with them and they ride as smooth as my stock duellers in my opinion. I haven't really experienced any negative effects with cornering and/or highway driving and am quite pleased with them. They look a hell of a lot more aggressive in person.
I'm headed out to Eastern Oregon this coming weekend, so I should be able to report back on how they do on different terrain.
I say go for it!

x2 on this. They look amazing in person. I have yet to see a pic that does them justice.
IMHO these should be a factory option. They are 'Wrangler' tires, and they work very well, and they just scream 'Jeep tires' when you see them in person.

I have about 6000 on mine and they show almost no wear on them! Still quiet and beefy as hell. Really sets off my rig IMO.
The only thing I am wondering about is when the tread sipes wear off, does the tire become a "mud tire"?
It does look like the sipes get deeper closer to the center of the lugs.
Definitely loving this tire. My Dad wants some, and my girlfriend wants some for their JKs. My mom might get a set of these on her 2011 Grand Cherokee when she gets it.

You would probably still have quite a bit of rub at full turn. I have the 275/70/18 and put on spidertrax 1.5 spacers (they look bad-ass by the way) because of the amount of rub. . .granted, that was before the 2.5 boost. Nevertheless, I think it would rub at full turn even with the boost and no spacers.

Just got 'em today. Got the 325/65R-18. Will lift higher than the 2" bb when these are paid off. They had to trim skid plate. Looks great and rides well. Pics later in the week.

Less than an hour old!
315/70R17s on Rugged ridges
Bad-f'ing-ass
(p.s., i bought 5 wheels but they only had 4 in stock locally, the spare should be around in the next week or 2)
It's silly how much bigger they look in person.
Before shot for reference: (complete different angle sorry.)
