Make sure tire is braced with rubber isolators. Daystar makes some that will work if stock ones don't.

Not to be the guy that brings bad news but I have a 35 inch MTR in my tailgate with 3.5 inch backspaced wheels. Good news it that it fits, with my smittybilt rear bumper anyway. Bad news is the internals are beat to hell and it rattles on every single little bump. 33 on it for almost two years and now 35s. It will work, but not for forever

(2009 JKU-Automatic), Went to 305/65-17 Procomps and the overdrive dance drove me crazy with 3.73's. Regeared to 4.88 after 18 months...no more OD dance, better crawling and no MPG sacrifice. Also added front and rear TruTrac's. Best investment I've made to my rig. Suggest regearing in advance of tires...or plan to, soon after.
