I love your Jeeps low center-of-gravity stance. Do you have any tire rub issues?
Thanks for the compliment! I'm debating whether I need a lift or not. I do like the lower center-of-gravity stance too. I have not noticed any tire rub issues on the pavement, definitely not, plenty of space. I've taken it off road once, did some fairly challenging rock crawling, I don't know if I was at full flex, but I didn't notice any issues and the tire wells looked unscathed.

Here’s mine. 1st time posting on a forum. Hopefully I figured it out!
Love those wheels! Did you use an adapter to use the six bolt pattern?

Those are fake lugs nuts. The real ones are under the center cap I believe.

That's one tough looking Rubicon you have there. You pulled it off well with those Black Rhino Armory wheels. How much do they weigh? They look like they could be a heavy wheel. Nonetheless, big thumbs up!

Tks. Yes I think a little heavier than average. Standard offset for wrangler. No adapters needed. Still need to figure out adapter for spare. Hoping more available as time goes on. I think the one from Smitty built might work for the 37’s from what I’ve read here

Am I the only one who thinks the actual Rubicon Rims match so well with these.
I totally agree. One of the best looking stock rims for sure. My issue is trying to find a C rated (or even D rated) tire in 35' size that fits well on the stock rim and looks good too.

I guess this would be the one (https://tiresize.com/tires/BFGoodrich/All-Terrain-TA-KO2-315-70R17.htm) but some people say the measure small and I think I've seen a few pics were they do look a bit small on the Rubicon even in stock height / no lift.

OK, some people say, quit perpetuating this myth. Most 35" tires measure 34.4"-34.5" Do the comparison yourself. BFGs are not the small ones comparatively speaking. just to name a few; General Grabber X3, Cooper Discoverer STT pros, Firestone Destination, Dick Cepek Extreme Country, Nitto Ridge Grappler. all of these are 34.5" or less. 315/70 R17 comparison.

I find it amazing with facts like these at our fingertips how much misinformation is passed around. /rant

For a 315 yes that correct. If you jump to a 35/12.5-17 you get a very nominal bump up to 34.8 on some tires. You can get that size in a Goodyear MTR with a C load range.

I agree. Thanks for making my point. Even a 35 does not measure a true 35”.

Now for those that can see the difference between a 34.5 and 34.8 I tip my hat.
