You're putting chains on with no lift? I hope you're not planning on going very fast with them on, pretty sure the chain allowance was built in to the Jeep with stock size tires. Might end up tearing some parts off if they balloon too much.

I just ordered Duratrac 295 65r18 for my stock Sahara 18's. I got 1.5" spacers too. With my 2.5" lift I shouldn't have any rubbing at all... Can't wait to get them on. Bummer is I got to wait approx 4-5 weeks as they are on serious BO.
My Jeep never liked the 15x8 Pro Comp 1069/ 33x12.50x15 BFG KM2's I had on there. Shimmy in the wheel that would not go away. 4 Wheel Parts is awesome for giving me a full credit. Praying these will work!

Please post pics when complete. Sounds like a lot of Sahara owners want to do a similar rig with BB, stock 18's, 295 Duratracs, and 1.5" spacers. Lovin this forum.

I will post pics.. I really would have liked to go a little wider but i think, or what i've been told is that 295 65 is the widest you should go with on a 7.5" rim. This might be why 295 65r18 is popluar. It is a 33x11.6r18.

looking for the same thing with the same tire options. i'm just wondering what would be the overall advantage of going 295 over the 275 like that is only 20 mm wider. Is it mainly a look slash stance preference. And one other question how much flex do you get before you rub?
