I am looking at some pro comp 7036 for my 2012 Rubicon. The size is 17x9 w/4.75 BS. Does anyone have these wheels with stock tires and how is the stance? Any suggestions??? Bring on the input!!!! Stock height
A 9" wheel is IMO a little too wide for stock width tire (255/70R17 ~10"width), a 285/70R17 tire would be better and should have no interference issues with that wheel, above that you may get interference to the flares at full flex.
With a 9" - 4.75" BS wheel you should be able to go up to 315/70R17 (~35X12.5") tire with slight rear pinch seam trim, flare trim and/or little bit of lift and bump stop increase.
Panamon creel is dead on with his post. 17x9 is a little wide for the stock 255's but these would be great for a 285/70R17 or even larger if you are planning on lifting it. With a 4.75 backspace, a 2.5" lift/level and a little work a 35" tire is very doable.
If you think you'll want to run a 37" tire or a tire wider than 12.5" sometime down the road, that's when I would recommend looking for a wheel with less backspace.
Yeah, I looked at those wheels too but didnt like them near as much. I pulled the trigger on those Pro Comps. So now I need to know what tire I should roll with. I dont have a lift and tires in my budget. Trying to explain this to the wife should be fun....
Well got the wheels and tires installed today. Want to give a big shout out to the guys at Discount Tire in Lake Havasu City,AZ for hooking it up! They did a great job and for a pretty decent price. I think it looks pretty good. Still stock height and no other mods really. I may just go broke....

I went with the Pro Comp 7036 17x9 w/ 4.75 BS wrapped with Nitto Terra Grapplers 295/70/17. Now all I need is a small lift and little wider fenders....water shoots all over the side of the jeep now:suicide:....suggestions???
What kind of rubbing will i get with the 7036 with a 4" trailmaster lift a 35-12.50-17? Do i need to look for more backspacing? 2013 4dr JKUL
