Default Mudlite radials on a 05 rubicon

Guys will 25X8X12 and 25X11X12's fit on a stock rubicon with no mods and no rubbing?? Looking at the new mudlite radial...any feed back would be great.

thought they only came in 26 and 27 inch (that's what ITP web site says anyway)

These tires look very close to my 26' Wetlands radials (the Wetlands aren't grooved as much). My 26s don't rub at all on an 04.

I'm running 25" MudLite XTRs on my 05 Rubicon (no rubbing, by the way). Consider it confirmed.

The 25" MudLite XTR only comes in 8 and 10 inch sizes and only on 12" rims. To get a 11", you have to go up to a 26" tire. You can click >>>here<<< to see the available sizes.

I also went with the ITP C Series Type 7 wheels >>>Click<<<. The tires would have worked just fine on the stock wheels though. I just thought the type 7s looked cool. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

As soon as I can come up with the money I'll be putting a set 26x11x12 rear and 26x9x12 front XTRs on my 05 rubicon. I think the 26" tires should clear everything just fine. Any thoughts?

I've known people who have put on 27" MudLite XLs on the Rubi. I can't imagine 26" XTRs not fitting. Personally, I just didn't see the need for the 26"s. You only get a 1/2 inch of additional clearance, but you also get more weight and a change in the factory drive ratio.

I found a web site that has the xtr's with the 4x4 maxlite rims for 590.00 but these are 26" tires. They do not list them in 25". Is it a mistake to but the 26" tires on my rubicon?
