2005 Wrangler Unlimited tire/wheel question

Can I put 2004/2005 31"/16" Rubicon tires/wheels directly on a 2005 Sport Unlimited that currently has 30"/15" tires/wheels.

Thanks

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.

Not positive, but that's what Moses Lundel's website said.

Categorically yes????

No adjustments to steering stops or anything.....just bolt them on?
