I have a JK unlimited with no lift as of yet, but I'm looking to go larger in the tire department. I currently have the really crappy 225 /75 r16 stock tires it came with. I'm looking at running some Hankook mts at 265/ 75 r16. My first question is: would I have any issues running the 265's on the original crappy factory rims that the 225's came on??
My next question is will I have any back spacing isuues with the 265's? I know that the Rubi's come stock with 32's, so I'm not worried about height. My only worry is that when going from 225's to 265's my tire width is jumping from 8.9 to 10.5 and I don't want rubbing. If it only rubbed at full flex I would probably be fine with that, but that is about all I could deal with.

Any input is much appreciated!!

Stock Rubicon tires are 255/75R17. I feel sure they'll fit no problem. You could probably get away with a size bigger.

Exactly what I did only with Kelly Safari's. No problems at all. Go for it.

Take a look at 255/85/16's. Tall and skinny. No rubbing issues and 34" tall. I got Cooper s/t's as a good all terrain but you can get KM2's in this size.

I had 285/70/17 on my stock 2dr x. They fit fine and never rubbed

Sweet. Thanks for the input guys!!

Ditto. But after a couple of trail rides, I decided to do a 2.5" lift.
