Nice, very nice!!! Haven’t had the time to strip down, but who says these things are supposed to be dirty?

What size tire are you running?

Nitto Terra Grappler G2 285/70-17 on Fuel Assault 17x9 with a -12 offset. No lift. A little bit of rubbing at full lock. May do a lift after it’s more than a couple of weeks old!

Straight from the dealership to the tire shop for some new shoes! Going to try out the new BFG KM3's in a LT315/70/R17 on the stock rims. Sorry, was so excited (and busy) today that I forgot to take an after photo. Coming soon, I promise...

I believe a 315/70r17 is a 34.5 inch tire. On a stock wheel without offset you are going to rub.

Just left tire store..said if I put 35x12.50 on my stock 8" wide rims the tread on tire wont sit flat on the road. Said because it's 12.50 wide onto 8" wide rim the tread(footprint) will have a rounder shape to it and not sit flat on road. Get what I'm saying? Let us know how you make out!!

No rubbing on the street with the Rubicon package, plenty of room. Both up and down, and turning lock to lock. I'm sure fully articulated off road they'll rub, but this is just to get me by until I get this Jeep built. Plan is to build for 37's, while running these 35(ish)" tires in the meantime.

It whistles
What do you think of the rack? Does it make a lot of noise and how high off the roof does it go? I'm thinking about the same set up.
It whistles a little with the wind right around 45-mph. Sits about 4 inches off the roof. I debated it for a while before I got, glad I bought it love the thing...picture does it no justice looks really good in person. Worth every penny!!
