New shoes
I ordered new tires( 285/70 r17 dc crushers) late tue night. To my surprise they arrived this morning. That's under 40 hours. A world record in ground delivery.(by Truck} I am planning on putting these on my stock 08 2 door wrangler x. As of yet I dont have any lift. Planning on an ome kit. I have a few questions?
1 will my tires work w/ no lift/stock 17 wheels?
2 when I order the ome kit will there be anything else I should be concerned about? (I plan on the heavy duty kit).
3 is it mickey mouse to run this size tire on a stock size rim ? as in is the rim too narrow?

No problem with the tires on the stock wheels, however you will likely need wheel spacers to move the tires out (they are wider) so they don't rub on the inside during turns and flex. A set of four Spidertrax spacers goes for about $200.
