I've searched around but can't find a definite answer... We've recently got snow here up in the great white north (yes i know its September 9th...) and so I'm looking to get a jump on getting some winter tires and I'm wondering if some 255/70/18 winters off a 12' Sahara will fit my 14' Limited? The only concern I have is that with the bigger overall circumference, that I may run into some rubbing issues on the upper control arm joints as someone had expressed earlier in their Off Road 18's thread. The wheels are good to go with 5x5" just the tire size I'm worried about.
Any of the brain trusts have a good idea if I can fit 255/70's on a 2014??

Here's my 2014 Summit on 2013 18 Sahara Rims and 255/18 r70's

No rubbing that I could ever tell.
I really like the look, but I took them off because the TPMS doesn't match up with my 2014 WK2. Need to purchase new TPMS and I'll put them back on.
P.S. I hate dash warning lights :thumbsup:
Does your Summit have the height control system in it, I think all summits do, and what engine do you have? Someone earlier stated these 18 rims with 255/70 R18 tires will fit a 2014 Jeep GC as long as you do not have the height control system in it. I am also surprized yout TPMS does not work because I was told the 2013 Wrangler TPMS sensors should be the same as the 2014 Jeep GC Summit (433Mhz sensors).
Great thanks guys. I bought the Saraha sized winters and when the weather turns for the worse for good I'll toss them on and put up a pic...hopefully thats not for at least a month or hopefully two :thumbsup:
Looks great. I am looking to do the same. Do you know if you have the bigger breaks? I have the ecodiesel with the tow package and wondered if the breaks I have will clear the wheels?
Do you also have the big brakes components that are on the diesel or hemi equipped Jeeps. Just want to know about clearance issues for the 18 inch rims.
Just installed a set of take offs from a 14 sahara 255/70 18s in a 14 limited 4x4 ecodiesel they fit great, however there isn't much clearance by the breaks. Maybe 1/8" I added a set of 1" spacers to add more clearance.
