Default Will these Rims & Tyres fit my WH Grand?

Hi fellow forum members,
I am looking at buying a set of rims / tyres off this forum and want to know whether they will fit my WH Grand.
They are 2012 JK Rubicon MOAB 17" rims with 285/70/17 tyres.
Your advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers, Craig

Unfortunately MOAB 17" rims won't clear the front brake calipers

You can with either 6mm slip on spacers or the larger 1-1.5" bolt on spacers, only fit those tyres with the bolt on ones though. And some trimming

What do you guys think?

Will these fit a WH with commander rims
INTERCO SS-M16 ... 31x10.5x17
seen them today at the Sydney 4wd show, the only thing I didn't like was the Price: $455.00 each + fitting.

I wonder how high I would have to go to fit the 33x10.5

They are actually pretty narrow those tyres, they should fit without dramas, the tread width is only 8.8" (225mm) so with the commander rims should clear the bolt.

And for a 33 and still have some travel, 4". You can do it on a crdstu 2.5" lift, but you have to bump stop and trim a lot to do it. And the Interco 33's are actually 33.5" tall, which is taller than my Nittos!

Id love to see them in real life or on a truck!!

(PS if you need i have some 6mm slip on spacers if they get too close!!)

Here are some pics off my phone
They looked wider then the 245 I have on now as they only measure 200mm just under 8inch's
Even off the ground on a stand the sidewall bulged but could have been the rim



I've almost talked myself into it

Clarky - those tyres will definitely be wider than your 245's as they have a 10.5" section width. 10.5" x 25.4mm = 266.7mm (i.e. 265 wide tyres)

So effectively they will be equivalent to a metric 265/65 R17 tyre, but a little larger OD as the metric will only come to about 30.6" OD as opposed to 31".
