    I am trying to put 315/70R17's on my stock Jeep Wrangler Unlimited using stock rims. Do I need to use spacers and if so, how thick? I am also going to use a 2.5 inch lift if that will be enough. Thoughts?

    If you’re going to use the OEM wheels you will likely need wheel spacers because of the 6.25” back spacing. Use high quality hub-centric wheel spacers from a known brand for best results. My JK runs 1.5” Spider Trax and they move the tires just outside of the fender.
