Default Largest tires and new rims for 2012 Stock JK

Hi,

I'm new to the forum, and new to Jeep life....the new baby gets delivered to the dealer on Thursday. Based on my personal history with other vehicles, I know for a fact that I will want to replace the wheels and tires ASAP.

2012 Rubicon Unlimited

1) What is the largest tire that I can put under it without suspension mods, etc. and no rubbing?
2) What are the actual rim specifications?

Thanks in advance!
Paul

You can fit 35s on a stock Jeep.. Just won't be very functional

I just put 305/70-16's on my Sport with wheels that have 4.75" BS.

No rubbing at all due to the width on the suspension parts.

I have hit the flares a couple times due to the tire width.
