My new wheels (Procomp 17 x 8 w/4.5" backspace) are on the truck and on the way...finally.
Out of no where a Christmas bonus showed up and I'm now thinking about buying new tires too.
I have a 2007 Unlimited X.
Current tires are Hankook Dynapro AT-M 255/75R17 and I'm wondering if I could upgrade to 315/70R17 on the new wheels.
Since I am chained to city driving until the summer at the earliest (not that there's any places to off-road in southern Ontario anyway)
Would they rub anywhere?
Any general safety concerns?
Will the new wheel and tire fit properly as the spare on the back?
Do I have to cut/trim/remove anything?
I've read about gears etc. And while I have no idea if this matters yet... I found my build sheet and it says I have 4.10 Rear Axle Ratio, "next gen Dana 30 solid front axle, next gen Dana 44 Rear Axle, conventional differential front axle.
Appreciate any guidance you fine folks can provide.
