Re: 2005 Wrangler Unlimited tire/wheel question
I believe so. The Rubicon rim is a 4.5" backspacing, and your sport has
probably 5.5" backspacing if it's an alloy rim. You will have to adjust the
steering stop to stop the tyres rubbing on the control arms on full lock.

Dave, you're sure the Rubicon's wheel has 4.5" of backspacing? I'm not
disputing you, just surprised.
