I ASS-ume your referring to Sport S or Overland models . . . and my GUESS is yea, with an * (asterisk) - you might want to also buy a set of Rubicon Fenders IF your planning to Really FLEX your JT ! ? ps; I VERY-rarely assume things, thus my cautionary input . Don't ask a Dealership Sales dude or dudette, they don't know SQUAT about 'Jeepy-Things," well most of them ! :headbang: :like: :)

You can fit 35s but will have to trim the front bumper a bit. In fact, there was a post on the front page of someone sticking 37s on a Sport (without Max-Tow even.)

2021 Edit - The bumpers are different now and you don't need to trim it to fit 35s.

Thanks, I saw that post & that’s why I was wondering , I know the Max Tow has the Dana Rubicon wide axles & 4:10 rear end. I can’t wait to get it ! I don’t think there going to start building it until August. I haven’t even test drove one , just knew I had to have one LOL

Thanks for the well most of them. I try to help train all of my fellow sales people, to never assume anything. If you don't know just say, "I don't know, but I can find out for you." It makes no sense to lie to someone that is paying you to help.

You would think that . . . but unfortunately my experiences over the decades have been LESS than complimentary MOST of the time . But Hope Lingers Eternal . . . or is that Fear ? Hmmm . . .

There have been 3 or 4 threads on this exact topic within the past week. There is some good information on here if you do a search.

I have 34 inch tires on my sport S max tow. Rear has plenty of room. Front is a little tighter but still has good room. Had it trim off some if the lower portion of the front bumper because they hit when you turned but good room above and behind.
Not the greatest pics , but here it is.....

I have a Sport S with Max Tow. I have a 2.5" lift and 34" tires, at extremes, they still rub at max turn and max flex. Stock, and on Stock wheels the 34's rubbed much more.

Do you have any more pictures of this setup? I was looking to do the same wheels on a Sport S.

Hmm, interesting, I'm on 33.8" tires, on a 2.5" lift, stock wheels, and when I hit the trails, Rubicon at the beginning of this month for instance, I get rubbing at extreme turning with moderate flexing, front sway bar disconnected and the bumper wings cut off. I'll have to see what is rubbing with a cam attached to see what it is. Maybe you have a different wheel offset.

Do you have the link to the wheel for the full specs? Have you tried flexing to see if you get any rubbing?
