I have no help from my local tire dealerships so I really need to rely on those of you with much more experience then me. Like everyone I want bigger tires. I am also changing wheels; going with 18x9. My question: what is the widest tire I can go with on a 18x9 with 5.0BS or 5.5BS? I initially wanted to go with 5.5 to keep the tire under the fender as much as possible but I'm worried that a wider tire will have clearance issues. I have a 2011 Rubicon. Any suggestions / thoughts / ideas will be greatly appreciated. I am going crazy trying to figure this @%$# out!

Tires should not go over two inches over the rim width. That being said I run a 12.5 tire on a 8 inch rim its only a half inch but it is over what is recommend. As for the back space on a JK, sorry IDK about the new stuff.
