Whats the largest/widest tire you can fit on rubicon wheels and a 6 inch lift with no wheel spacers?

Like a 35x10, they have a lot of backspacing something like 5 or 5.5 inches so spacers would probably be needed anyway
And if they are off a jk then you will need adapters

TJ Moabs (this us their actual name, not Rubicons. A lot of people call them Rubicons because they came on the Rubicon edition) have 5" of BS. Without spacers the widest you can go is a 11.5" wide without rubbing on the LCA's. as far as diameter, it all depends on how much trimming you want to do to keep it from rubbing on the fenders.

JK Moabs are 6.25" BS, but they have a different lug pattern (5x5 vs the XJ's 5x4.5) so you'll need wheel adapters which will push the wheel out further, allowing you to run at least a 11.5" depending on how wide of an adapter you get.
