I know this has been asked before, but can't find the thread. But what is the biggest tire size you can go on the stock 18 inch rim of the 2012 Sahara? Oh and with the stock suspension.

I went from the stock 255 70 's up to 275 70 's. They work and look GREAT (not too big but look nice and "beefy")... but... With the stock height they rub a bit on the swaybar when the wheel is turned fully, and the spare barely attaches to the stock bracket (rubs a bit on the bumper... ). I bought small spacers (1/4 inch) which helped with the spare tire but did not fix the swaybar rub). The run is tolerable.. But makes the turning radius a bit longer.
Now that I have a 2 inch lift the tires fit with lots of room to spare at the swaybar.

where did u find the spacers u purchased and how much were they roughly?

I ordered them in at National 4x4 in Smiths Falls. National is a chain and has a website also. Not sure if there is a location near you. They were about $50 for 6 of them. Brad is the guy to talk to (fantastic to deal with)... He'd be glad to order them in and ship them to you.
