3. 255/70/18 (32”x10”).
The largest tire you can fit without a chance of problems on the street is a 33x10 tire (also called a “pizza cutter”). An example is the 255/80/17 BFG KM2. Because this tire is the same width as most stock JK tires, there is no issue on road, despite the larger diameter. You can run this size without issue.
On Jeep Jk you can use your stock wheels and put on up to a LT275/70R18 (33's) size tires all around with no lift or wheel spacers. You will have a little rubbing when turning full lock. To fix this you can do a few things as:
- Put on a small lift kit (1" to 2" body lift or coil spacers)
- Put on a wheel spacers (hub centric) so you have less backspacing
- Put on new wheels with less backspacing
- Or a simple fix is washers on the steering stops, which will also give you a little less turning radius, but stops the rubbing.
Not: If you are going off roading using stock wheels and 33's you need to add wheel spacers, or new wheels, or get a small lift or you will break your fenders on heavy flexing. You should avoid spacers when possible, replacement aftermarket wheels with 4.5 inch backspacing will be the exact same as adding 1.5 inch wheel spacers to a stock jeep wrangler. This will give you the "wide stance look".

I had to trim the the plastic air dam up front, but that was a simple matter. It rides nice and road noise from the tires is minimal.
According to my GPS, the speedometer reads about 2-3 mph less than actual at highway speeds. Photo from JKowners.com

I thought I would show a few Jeep wrangler JK's with a lift and 35's so you can see what that would look like also. This JK has a 3 inch lift and is running 35 inch tires. Since the tires buldge out quite a lot, I believe the tires are on stock wheels. This set up is for a little more serious off road use, but still looks great on the street.
