Another will it fit...
Hey Guys
I have read the wheel and tires sticky and still am not sure what i am going to need, so...
--I have a 2013 Unlimited Rubi
--I have the TaraFlex leveling kit (spacers 2" front 1" back)
--I want to use my factory 17" wheels
--I want to install and run 305/70/17 tires
Will I need wheel spacers or longer bump stops?
Will I need to trim anything?
Or should I just go with 285/70/17
Thanks for your thoughts

You should need wheel spacers and the trimming/ bumpstops will depend on what you do with the jeep. Some people need extended bumpstops on stock suspension, others don't. Your usage will dictate that.
Wheel spacers are merely for the width of tire. If you go with a tall and narrow tire then you're set without them, but take the 'spacers are scary' with a grain of salt. For every poor opinion you hear on them there are a thousand untold success stories.

Seriously ?!? RUN WHEEL SPACERS they make the JEEP look bigger and give you a wider track which gives you better stability, especially on off camber trails. I have personally been running wheel spacers/adapters for 20+ years on everything from SCCA race cars to trail rigs and daily drivers and never had a single problem just torque them with red Loctite and you are good to go and check them every other oil change when you rotate your tires. You will need the clearance to run those tires otherwise it will rub on your front track bar at full lock when turning and you should get extended bumpstops to prevent ripping your fenders off if you flex her out on the trails and you might have to trim your pinch seams and possibly your front air dam...good luck!
