I just bought a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Sport Black and Tan 2 door. I have previously owned a 2018 JLUR with 35x12.5s on it.
I want to upgrade my wheels and tires on the Sport, but I don't want to sacrifice Acceleration, Ride Quality, and Gas Mileage too much.
I have the 4 cylinder with automatic, 3.45 gearing.
It comes stock with 245/75/17s on 17x7.5 rims.
The tires weigh about 38lbs and the rims are approximately 22-25lbs I hear, so 60-63lbs total.
I found Fuel 17x8.5 rims that are 25lbs each with a -6mm offset./4.5 backspacing.
The big difference here will be the tires.
265/70/17s I can get the same brand Bridgestones that are on it = 40-43lbs
BFG KO2s I can get 265s at 44lbs or 285s at 51lbs
Then I found Toyo Open Countrys 265s at 47lbs or 285 at 48lbs.
Hours of research here, I do not want to make a mistake.
I want the best looking combination I can get, but I do not want rubbing.
Should I do the 265/70/17s, I gain 1 inch in width, but same height or the 285/70/17s and gain 2 inches width and 1 inch height, at the expense of an additional 5lbs over the 265s plus reduced gearing?
I am also thinking of going with Bronze Rims to complement the Tan top.
