Default 315/70/17s

I am thinking about buying a set of 315/70/17s used with good tread, My only concern is will i be able to squeeze these tires under my stock jk? If so does anyone know if it will severly afffect the jeep in anyway? Last but not least anyone running 34s?

Flat fenders or a 2.50" lift or say good bye to your fenders. 305 max with no mods, stay on the road

They will fit I ran mine until I got my lift for a week or so if your running stock rims you need 1and a half inch wheel spacers if you have other rims 4.5 backspacing is fine just avoid pot holes they suck

Spacers are not DOT aproved, they are for show. Spacers are a MOD, so like I said before with NO MOD, I would say no. If you do go with spacers, keep an eye on your lugs and torque regularly

OK once again you are running different specs! Your advice is invalid, re-read the originall post with his specs and NO MOD request.

I'm selling a set of 315/70/17 BFG AT/KO mounted on Icon ( model 136) wheels these are great set of wheels and tires. Asking $800 for everything. Tires still have plenty of tread life.
