Thanks for posting these pics....looks awesome...can you post another pic showing how much your tires stick out beyond the fender?Ride comfort almost the same as factory, outside of the road noise
I use this to get an idea of tire sizes and how it differs from stock. https://tiresize.com/comparison/
Attempted to install a 33x12.5x20 today on a JLU Sport S and I couldn't make the wheel turn more than halfway with the Euro fender flare piece. Swinging by Discount Tire in the morning to try again now that the piece is gone - looks like it shaves ~2 inches off, which hopefully is enough.33s DO rub a bit on Sport S with no lift. I didn't think there was any rub at first ... even when I turned the tires to full extremes & got out and looked. But, in a few parking instances, the tires did slightly rub the bottom of the plastic piece that bridges the bumper to the fender flare. I planned on removing those pieces, but just haven't gotten around to it.
I have a 2.5" boost (using stock suspension) boxed in my garage waiting to go on. I'm not sure yet whether I'm going to do it myself or have someone install the lift who will also do the alignment. If I put it on soon, I'll post pics.
285mm ~ 11.2in
Mine are a -24 offset (may have gone a bit too aggressive), so actively fighting physics here! Lol. No problem with new install, minus the splash guards!With 2" factory lift. Rubicon takeoffs.
I would wait for a new chart. 8 speed tranny and the 3.45 gears are only 9% difference from 3.73. So performance is going to be better with the JL.First, thank you for responding. Much appreciated.
Feel free to correct me if my next statement is wrong but isn't gear ratio a big factor in whether or not the Jeep can handle the tire/wheel combo. In my JKU I had the 3.73 rear end / auto trans and 33's seemed to run OK but it was at the upper end of the spec, so to speak. Yes, the attached image was created for a JK but I suspect that the gear ratio/tire size info might still be relevant, which is why I posed my earlier question. No doubt the Rubicon and the 4.10 rear end can handle the 35's but the 3.45 might be over matched by the 33's and thus the 8spd trans might struggle at the upper end. Anyhow, that said the Jeep will still function with the 33's but maybe not to it's fully capability.
In the end the rear end gearing may drive me towards a JLUR though I have no need for the bulk of the capability of the that particular model of Jeep though it looks really bad ass, IMO. Too bad they aren't offering a 3.73 upgrade on the Sport/Sahara trims.
That looks perfect! I had 315s on my Jk and decided to do 33s and a Rubi Suspension. Did you do control arms?No rubbing with 33s on our Sport. Rubicon springs and shocks added about 1 1/4" to 1 1/2". The tires added another 1/2" for a total lift of about 2" over stock. The ride is firm but very comfortable.
We love how it turned out.
Thanks! I have the Rubi control arms but did not install them They are not needed. The Rubi and Sport arms are the same. BTW, I had a 3/4" "leveling kit" that I decided not to install. It's not needed on the JL.
