I am considering putting these on my wife's Sahara but on an 18" wheel. Do you have any rubbing with it being on a stock wheel?

Congrats:rock:

I beleive 285 is the widest tire you can put on a stock wheel. I would recommend changing her wheels to a set of 17's eventually because the price difference from a 17 to an 18 can be as much as 70 a tire depending on what you're going with.

I tried putting the tires on my stock rims and Discount tire wouldn't do because they are7 1/2" wheels and NITTO preferred 8" wheels to mount them on. Some people will still do it but they won't. And to answer your question NO they didn't or don't rub. So I both rims to fit the tires

It's Bought sorry type'o
 
I don't know why these shops won't do it. Some just don't know any better and claim they can't. I had this problem with a Mr. Tire, the servicer rep said I couldn't fit 35x12.5's on a 7.5" rim. She also recommended a 10" wide rim............The advantage of keeping a narrow rim is you will be less likely to loose your bead.


I wish you could take my Jeep with you to the shop and show them my 7.5" rims with 12.5" wide tires on them......then maybe they wouldn't give you a hard time about a 285....
 
Its all liabilities, if the tire specs say 8"+ rim width, then that's what they are supposed to fallow.

Did you have to run spacers, or was there enough clearance from inside tire to ball joints and other suspension parts?

There is room and no rubbing at all. I did not use spacers. Now for going off road you might want spacers

the nitto web site says that the rim recommendation is 7.5-9.0 not 8 to 9 inch. The link I posted is Nitto's own web page specs.

So yours doesn't rub because you bought aftermarket, correct? That is how mine is setup. I have 35s on a 17 that I bought. She wants to keep her 18 inch factory wheels but larger tires. A 285 will fit on the wheel just like many have said but I agree some stores will not mount based on company policy. Thanks for the reply.

I understand about the price. She wants to keep her wheels if we can though so...

Yes I bought aftermarket so I could use the tires. And I love the looks. I am ready to go 4x4
