What I'm looking at right now are 37" Wrangler M/T by Good Year, because they're the upgraded ones I have now. The Tire ratio is this; 37X12.50R17. Will they fit the rims I have now? If not, I'll take any recommendations. Thanks!
Yes, the tires will fit fine. Since your 07 is a Rubicon, it should have the 4.10 gears, and without doing a regear, I wouldn't go over a 35" tire. As for the 17" size, I would stick with that. More tire choices, and they handle better on road. You will definitely need a lift as well. 2.5" to 3" is perfect for running 35's.
