275 70 18 without spacers possible?

JLSilerJK · Apr 14, 2015

Please help- Came accross duratracs that fit current wheel. Has anyone ran this size without spacers? I do have about 2 inches of lift so the width is my concern. If these dont work I will keep with the current plan of getting new wheels and tires with correct backspacing. Just kinda a steal so I was hoping I could get away with it. Thanks for reading

My brother ran this on his 08 for a while, with no lift. He rubbed only at full turn, not in normal driving.

Thank you very much. Do you know where the rubbing was occuring?

You should be okay. Like stated above there will be rubbing but since you have a lift it might only rub if you have the stock bumper.

I think it was on the sway bar and I think he had 285 not 275

So you're saying I need bigger tires? ::sarcasm font::

Even my wifey knows you can put up to a 295 on stock wheels. Dude read some on this forum. It will educate you. :twocents:

I run 285 70 17 on stock wheels with no lift. I had some rubbing on the sway bar at full turn.
I ended up adding a couple washers behind the steering stops to eliminate the rubbing until I get wheel spacers.
I understand at full flex this could be an issue though. I believe the 275 70 18 are a little taller, but a little narrower
than my tires.

Thanks. I guess I shoulda updated this yesterday. I went to Discount Tire first thing yestreday and inquired. The guy that helped with my questions owns a Jeep and is heading to Moab this week. He said I could run the tires but his first hand experience they wore out quickly because of the wheel width and sidewall buldge. I still have some life on the current tires so the plan is to wait, read a bunch, listen to peolpes wives and do it right.
