Rubi Tires (285 70 17) on 7 inch wheel??

[aseemer]

Do the Rubi tires have to be on 7.5 inch or wider wheels? Can I put them on the 7 inch Sport wheels? Safe? Thanks.

Falken calls for 7.5-9 for the 285/70R17. I’m sure you can put them on a 7”, not sure you should.

No worse (not even close to as bad) as people putting 35/1250 or 37/1250 on the stock 7.5" wheels

I bet with a little patience and judicious shoping you can find a set of Rubicon tires AND wheels on a deal. I've seen them with my own two orbs

There are no 7" factory alloy wheels on JT. Are you saying the base model steel wheels are 7" wide?

I thought the Sport S wheels were 7” wide. If I’m wrong then that great news!! They ARE 7.5”?

take a look at your window sticker, says right on it 17x7.5....

Great. Thank you.

Currently running this exact setup on my Sport S. No problems at all.

Just so everybody is aware in case this thread pops up in a search, ALL Wrangler JK, Wrangler JL, and Gladiator JT wheels are 7.5" wide. Even the steel spare under the rear of the JT is 7.5" wide. They also all have the same backspacing at 6.1". They are stamped +44.45mm offset on the rear.

The only 7.0" wide factory wheel I've ever seen was the base model steel wheels used on some early JK Sport models.
