Default j's Front and Rear fender fitment

hey, alright so quick question! My fenders should be coming in soon and I was just looking for opinions based on personal experience and knowlege on the tire sizes I can run. The wheels I'll be running are 10.5 +45 te37s. Id like to run a meaty set up, but if I have to stretch a little I don't mind!

are they 17's or 18's? Just a guess but a 255 front and a 275 or 285 rear would be good (the rear will be a little taller than stock though). If they are 18's you can probably do a 265 in front. 17's don't have many 265 options (3 on tire rack and no extreme performance summer options).

Ok then you have plenty of tire choices for the 265/35/18 and 285/35/18 combo I mentioned. You may be able to fit a 265 or 285 all around but I am not sure.

With those fenders and wheel specs you should be able to accommodate a 285/30 all the way around no problem. I’m generally not one for square fitments, but considering the alternative of running a 265/35 up front, its overall diameter will be noticeably larger then the rear 285, so its not ideal. 265/35/295/30 stagger would be closer and doable, but not when you consider the non stag rim width. 285 squared is the natural choice for the wheels since you can clear them with your fenders.

Well that’s relative, its not going to look hellaflush if that’s what your after. It will look more aggressive then stock for sure. Probably what id consider a pretty ideal looking aggressive functional fitment. You have the option of running up to a 5mm spacer without studs safely/effectively if you think you can clear it for a little more aggressive fit after install, but it will be pretty close as is, depending on the camber and ride height you run. Running a 295/30 all around or just in rear is another option for more meat, but im reluctant to steer you in that direction initially, based on the less then ideal rim width and already tight fender fitment. Could be an option later though.

there might be a change of plans, I might pick up a set up ce28rt! only concern is the rears are 18x10.5 + 15... question is am I going to have to stretch a lot to fit these or just the bare minimum? hoping since the js over fender is +45 it won't be a huge stretch.

If the J's rear over fender is an honest 45mm over stock, then they should fit well. That would put you at a +60 equivalent on stock/rolled fenders for this package, which can be done.

Just think though, with all that fender room with the extra 45mm, you could easily run a 315+ with the right width/offset wheel. As is, with your current plan, you have an easy 55mm of clearance on the inside not being utilized. Just because you have the room, doesn’t mean you should or have to use it though, but just thought id point it out. When you can fit a 285 with 10.5" package on stock unrolled fenders, seems sort of pointless to invest in a widebody for the same thing.

Mine in yellow on stock body vs yours in green with assumed fenders and stated wheel package
