Will this rub?
Hello Jeepers,
I think I know the answer to this but I would like to get some other opinions on it.
I ordered a new set of tires/wheels from TireRack.com for my '12 JKUS today. 265/75/16's on 16" KMC XD Bully wheels. The Bully wheels are either 4.5" backspacing or 3.77 depending on which site you read. After I ordered, a Tirerack rep called me and told me that this tire/wheel could not work because it will rub the fenders because of the offset. I think this should fit fine. Whose correct? Thanks!

I ran 265/70/17 for sometime on my jeep with 4.5" of BS with absolutely no issues. That tire (calculated) is same width as stock (10.4) and height is 31.6 with stock being 32"... And factor in 2" more of BS with stock rims being 6.5".... As already stated, you will be fine...

Ok thanks! I was certain I would be fine too because of the information I've read on here until the rep told me it would rub, then I started second guessing myself. I appreciate the help!
