Default Another wheel and tire question.

Would 17x8.5 wheel backspacing same as stock with 265/70/17 general grabber will rub on the trackbar or fender etc.

I wouldn't expect a problem as that's only 10mm wider than the stock 32's. Just turn your wheel lock to lock and measure your clearances to be sure. If you're still worried about it grab some spacers, you'll love the look and feel of the increased track. I run that size toyo m/t on black rocks with a 4.5" bs and I am a big fan all around. Oh, and check the wheels and tires section of the modified jk tech faq stickies.

ok, you are running a 265-70-75 toyo m/t on black rock with 4.5 BS..do you experience any rubbing in full turn WITHOUT SPACERS on it? The way I understood is...if you have a new wheels with 4.50 BS, you don`t need spacers and it will Not RUB in full turn... and by the way...could you post some pictures of your new wheels and tires? thanks

No rubs under any condition for me, full lock/stuff, all good. Mobi app keeps crashing on me, check my gallery for some pics.
