I have a 2013 Rubicon JKU with the Teraflex performance leveling kit (coils, not pucks) and MCE flat front fenders, stock rubi rims and Spidertrax 1.5" spacers. After intense sole (no type-o, pun intended) searching, I am going with Nitto Trail Grapplers, but now I need to decide on the size. I'd rather not get into cutting the pinch seam and rubi-rails right now - mostly because that will lead to 35's and c-gussets, etc - but am wondering which size tire I can fit given my setup:
Size Tread Dia Width Rim Size
LT285/75R17 18.9 34.09 11.57 7.5-(8.0)-9.5
LT295/70R17 19.4 33.54 11.97 7.5-(8.5)-10.0
I like the 285's for the thinner width, but the 295's have a greater tread depth which also appeals to me. Doing a search seems to show that either will work, but I want to confirm.
Anyone have pictures of a setup similar to this?
Thanks in advance!
