285/70r17s on stock wheels and no lift? (sport s)

[GoBraves95]

JL Rubicon wheels with BF Goodrich 285/70R17 tires, and JT Rubicon shocks - picked up some Mojave and Rubicon spring sets, but haven't had a chance to install either one yet:

After putting on the Rubicon rocker rails - that bumper corner was actually smooshed in when new. Dealer said they would order a new bumper, but I didn't care. Gonna tear it up anyways:

Your truck looks great with those wheels and tires. Def let the dealer replace your bumper if they messed it up. If anything you can sell it when you get a new one.

here's mine 285 70 17 General ATX

Nice!! Thanks for the photo.

It looks like you don't have the closure panels in yours, the panel that kinda connects the bumper and the fender.....so 285/70/R17's should work fine. I'll be going to those as soon as it's time to get new tires. I took my closure panels out a couple of months ago, trimmed it down to where I could cover my fogs and it looks great.

Thanks! Mine came like this. Are some dealers taking them off pre-market?

I've seen some dealerships mod a Sport-S or Overlander and I've noticed that the closure panels are gone when that happens. I wanted mine gone because I didn't want to take a chance on the tires rubbing, and I also like the look much better, it looks more like a Rubicon with the panels gone.

I like it without the panels. They added window tint and bedliner too. Rims are blacked out as well as all of the logos. Don’t know if the dealership did that or thats how it came.

Any way you could share a photo? And doesn’t that much offset cause undue wear on steering parts?

I don’t think it’s that far of an offset to cause issues. But I could be wrong. Im just holding out until I can get a rubicon soon!
