New Wheels and 35 inch Tires on my JLU Sport

[TampaJL]

I received my XD Rockstar in 17x9.5 with 35x12.50x17 KO2s.

They fit great. No rubbing with bumper insert removed. With the bumper insert in place There is mild rubbing on a full radius turn.

The spare tire also fits but extremely snuggly. I will be ordering the Ace Engineering tire carrier relocation brackets.

Thank you to everyone for answering my questions, especially Matt@Ace engineering and hardt2788.

Nice combo! What is the offset of your wheels?

The offset is -12.

No room for flexing aside, that really is a great look! Only certain vehicles can pull off the stuffed wheel wells looks, and this is most def. one of them!

Looks excellent. Keep us posted with any drawbacks that you encounter.

Thanks. I'm likely going to add a 2.5" lift.

Do you do any beach wheeling in Tampa? I'm interested in how your current set up performs, as I only wheel on beaches in Nantucket, and Charlestown, RI here in the NorthEast and I love the look.

I haven't hit the real beach yet. But, I climbed an 18% grade of dirt and sugar sand on one of my properties with no issue.

These are actually 17x9, correct?
I can't find any XD's that would be 17x9.5

I'm going to try and throw 35s and new black 17" wheels on my JLU Sport S as well...so I'm interested in finding the widest wheels possible (with other specs, such as bolt pattern) that would work for the JL.

So far, those XD's look like a good option. If you got them new, mind saying what you paid and where?

Damn that looks sleek. Not too little, not too much. To achieve that look, did you only get wheels and tires? I always wondered how to get that "wider stance" look. Is it the simply just the width of the wheels/tires? Looks great!
