Looks much better, thanks for posting. You should add a leveling kit, 2 inches in the front and 1 inch in the back. Thanks for the info on the TPMS, very helpful.
I currently have 25575r18 on mine. Picked up a set of 33x12.50r18 tires yesterday. I'm going with a 2 inch leveling kit and off-set rims to avoid rubbing.
@missionaryluv8378 Yes, they fit but rubbed on sharp turns without the spacers. I have since gone with 25575R18s with the spacers and have not had a single issue. If I knew how, I would include a pic.😁
32.75” your set up. I have 275/70R18 on Stock JKu Sahara. No Rubbing at All. Fills the wheel wells too 33.15” I went with 275 instead of 285 because my friend has them on his JKu and they rubbed like yours. He put 2 washers on stealing stops
I was going to run the same size tires as you (285/70/17) on my 2012 jku sport, do you get the sway bar rub on just general steering? Or is it only under specific circumstances?
It only rubs a tiny bit at full lock of the wheel, (when you turn as sharp as possible and touch steering stops) not bad at all, and you could shim steering stops a little to eliminate rub. I'd say go for them! 285/70/17 is best size for jeeps!
Did you have any problems with using the stock wheels with those tires? I want to use similar tires on my stock 17x7.5 inch wheels and don’t know if that will work.
I have a 2016 Unlimited Sport S, same wheels as yours, and I plan on installing BFG KO2 285 75R17 (33.8” diameter) on those wheels - no spacers. Will I get any rub? Do I need a leveling kit or lift?
I did not.. 285's is only about 3/4 inch taller than 255's.. The biggest difference is the width.. 285 is much wider.. 35psi is good on 4 or 6 ply.. 30 or even 28 is better on 10 ply.. But need a programmer to change tpms settings or be stuck looking at low tire warning light.
Definitely! Even 285/75/17 would probably work since the Jl's have more room in wheelwell.. But not sure the big cost difference is worth it.. Just picked up a 2022 myself.. ruclips.net/video/r2v5jibWofA/видео.html
i have a 17 jkur with 255/75/17 stock tires on it now...i did put a leveling kit on it so it raised it 2" in the front and 1" in the back...i'm thinking of stepping into a 33" tire..what size n ur opinion could i get away with? u mention buying spacers but i thought they weren't safe, any input on those? where i'm at tires sticking out the side doesn't matter...i do offroad but nothing to extreme...thanks for any input u give..
Hi, a lift/ leveling kit doesn't help for clearance when turning. Unless you get different wheels or run spacers you probably wanna stick to 285-70-17. For a little taller tire(34") 285-75-17 would probably look the nicest with the leveling kit, but without spacers or different wheels rubbing will probably be a problem. Same with 33x12.50x17, they would look nice but you need more backspacing.
@@adamant7146 2" is plenty wide for wheel spacers! I wouldn't run more then 1.5" If you do get spacers make sure they are quality product, not Chinese junk off ebay! If you don't go with a 12.50 wide tire you might be ok without spacers. I dont run any, & not a fan of them. Would recommend just getting new wheels if you need the backspacing. But for any of the 285 sizes you should be fine
I have a 2014 JKU also and I put some 2021 JLU Rubicon take off tires on it they are 33” my Jeep is not lifted either and every time I go to start a sharp turn may entire jeep beings to shake
I know this video's old but I would never go with a 1-in spacer 1.5 minimum otherwise you have to use crappy little half lug nuts what I ended up doing was putting a 5/16 washer behind the steering stop on both sides and that solved the problem. Quick easy fix
@@cumminsperformancs Like throwing a hotdog down a hallway 😂 I went out and got some wide pro comp extremes should look good with them tires. I love how yours came out
Yes we do.. Might be able to get away with 1/2 inch poke but that's about it without sooner or later getting stopped.. This setup is perfect and don't stick out at all!
Thats what I was originally gonna do.. But cost difference between the 285/70 & 285/75 is substantial for the small difference! Height wise they would work with level, but will rub sway bar bad without spacers or aftermarket wheels.
Rides nice.. The tires are much firmer being 10 ply vs the stock lousy 4ply so it makes the suspension work more, but eliminates the mushy feeling of the stock tires.
Thanks for the videos. I've got a 2" lift with Rubicon springs and shocks on my 2018 JKU and wondered how it would look with 33's. I feel the stock 32" BFG M'T height looks good but would like a little more width to fill out the fenders. I love the Rubicon wheels and no spacers ever on my Jeeps. I would go with AEV wheels to get the correct backspacing for bigger tires.
285/70's would obviously work like I have.. or since you have a small lift you could go with 285/75's... But cost difference is huge for such small difference in size & they would definitely rub more when turning without getting different wheels/spacers... Unless biting the bullet and going all the way to a 35" I feel the 33" (285/70) is where it's at.
Thats actually the size I wanted to get originally, since its almost a 34" tire.. But it Definitely won't fit well & will have major rub on swaybar, without spacers, and with spacers it will move tire out which will hit fenders if you off road any.. So you Would need to trim them or get flat fenders.
Sounds Good. 👍 They are Much cheaper also! Did you happen to see the update video I did? If not check it out especially the flex test part.. ruclips.net/video/3DcN43SpUFo/видео.html
It had the standard black rails like they all come with, but they were removed before I got it, and I kinda like appearance without them.. They hold dirt/salt and end up causing rust. Also first thing that needs ends trimmed off when running bigger tires.
There's only 7/10 of an inch difference in overall diameter between the 255/75/17 (32.1" diameter) tire that came on that Jeep and the 285/70/17 (32.8" diameter) tire that you put on the Jeep. Only half off that difference is to be considered in terms of clearance. That means there's only 3.5/10 of an inch (just over a 1/3") difference from the stock tire and the new tire in terms of clearance. When folks add the aprox. 4.50-4.75 negative offset from the typical aftermarket wheel's backspacing then it is aprox. the same result as using a 1.5" wheel spacer - and this never rubs the fender. Both a 1" and a 1.5" wheel spacer would work perfectly fine with this setup.
Not exactly... If you watch my other video, with flex test, you will clearly see that 1.5" spacers would definitely NOT work for off-roading! Very doubtful that even 1" would. Like you said, Tire diameter is only slightly bigger & not the problem, the extra 1.2" in width is what makes the difference.
@@cumminsperformancs that problem of hitting fender when articulating is solved by a lift. The spacing, whether 1" or 1.5", won't stop it from hitting above if/when you articulate enough. The combo of wider tire, loss of that aprox 1/3" clearance height and the lesser offset of a spacer all together will cause you to hit above if you're really going at it, for sure. I meant that for daily driving either the 1" or 1.5" spacer works well with that setup. Really, a 1.5" spacer ends up with tire sticking out about as far as your typical aftermarket wheel would have it.
@@brianmurphy5313 I understand, but you are Totally missing the point! This is NOT a lift, wheel, or spacer video. Its a video showing the biggest tires you can run on a completely STOCK setup.
Brian the problem isnt just the 3/4 larger diameter, is that with a 1.5" spacer you are going outward putting tire under the fender's lip meaning you have way less clearance. If you look at jeep forums plenty of people who put 1.5" wheel spacer on stock 255/75r17 get bad fender rub on moderate trails before even putting the 285s on! And also this is not about wheel with 1.5 less backspace or quality wheel spacer -- they have identical effect but about the fact the further out you go the more you will contact the fender. the issue with 285 off road is the WIDTH, which is not just 1.7"wider, but 3" further out since you need to spacer or backspace added to the increased width and it all gos out under the fender

Update/flexing ruclips.net/video/3DcN43SpUFo/видео.html
I'm curious about that tire size working with the stock tire carrier on the rear door?
Should be totally fine with stock wheels.. might need a spacer with aftermarket wheels depending how wide they are.
why didn't you get the same size for the spare?
Tires were take offs from a truck & they only had 4..
do you still have full coverage for PA law? I am looking at going to 33s and am worried about it.
Yes we do.. Might be able to get away with 1/2 inch poke but that's about it without sooner or later getting stopped..

You can fit 35"s with flat fenders, but need aftermarket wheels or spacers to correct backspacing.
no.

I don't off road hard.. But it does flex incredibly well for being stock!

Hello, how much air pressure yoi run in those tires
I ran 35 only because of tpms light.. if on something older without tpms, I'd probably run 30 on a 10ply tire on a wrangler.
Boss! I’m guessing 275/70/17 will be okay with no rubbings on the sway bars at all? Thanks for the video boss!
