2018 Granite Crystal Rubicon 2.0L (ordered on 2/12 received on 9/26)
I have been looking at the Quadratec 41 w/ BFG 315/70R17 KO2s. Have you experienced any offroad clearance issues? How does your set-up mount onto the stock tire carrier?
It clears the fenders and it fits the tire carrier better than the original (barely rubs bumper now - used to drag hard on the left side because of the stock offset and 35s)

I really love these wheels.

They don't stick nearly as far out as other aftermarket wheels.

Had to copy @Warpath and got the Dirty Life wheels and Nitto Ridge Grapplers as well (35x12.5r17 no lift). Did the wheels in gunmetal tho. Thanks for the inspiration @Warpath!

Looks really awesome. Congrats. How do you like the ride quality of the Ridge Grapplers in that size? My understanding is they only come in E rating and I have personally had some issues with E rated on stock suspension in past. Just a little rough in cabin.

Watch some of the early Lite Brite youtube vids. They did some serious wheeling with a stock no-lift JLUR on 35’s, before they upgraded to 38’s. They claim little to no rubbing. I had no questions after watching these.

Here is the thread to discuss the video: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/video-of-jlur-on-chinaman-gulch.4656/

To save you a lot of time - 35’s work with no lift - even Mopar says this. If you go with 37’s you will need a 2” lift. I am still trying to decide between the 2 options. It’s not a trivial decision, cost is going to be several thousand $ so I want to get it right. I know if I go with 35’s I will always be wondering about 37’s and if I go with 37’s I fear it will be too high.

Bigger than 35's and it's hard to get your butt up into the seat :)

I love the ride quality of the Ridge Grapplers after I correctly set the tire pressure to 31psi (emailed Nitto my rig's specs and this is what they suggested). When I had them at 37, the rig wandered and was a little more harsh on the ride feel. They're also really quiet, didn't notice any more road noise than the stock K02. They are really heavy though, so lifting them on/off is a PITA :muscle:

Any rubbing with the dirty life wheels and the Rdge Grapplers? Also, did you go with the -12 offset on them? this is the exact setup I am planning on with the exception of I plan to go with the matte bronze wheels. (looks awesome on Punk'n)

also, how is mpg? that is a very heavy wheel and a heavy tire so combined I would guess it is noticable formgas milage and overall performance.

No rubbing with daily driving and easy fire road trails. Haven't had a chance to really flex it out and see if it rubs. I did go with the -12 offset and the MPG did drop, getting around 15-16 city and 18 highway.

I have a 2dr Rubi.... So this is what I'm thinking, but I'd like to get everyone's opinion on my train of thought here.

I was originally thinking about 35's on factory wheels. So it may rub, it may not rub depending on the tire but if it does rub it may be minimal at most when disconnected and articulated. I was thinking of adding the terraflex 1.5" spacers to stay as close to factory geometry as possible. But if a 35" tire barely rubs and a 37" tire technically only eats up 1 more inch of space in the wheel well, would the 1.5" spacers work for 37" tires with minimal or no rubbing? Keep in mind I would also consider wheel spacers for offset and looks as well. and of course I would reinforce the tailgate as well. What are everyone's thoughts on this? Does anyone have any experience with a similar setup?

Looks great...I also have a 2019 Jeep JLUR in Granite Crystal. I love the look of your wheels. Did you buy your tires and rims local or on the net? Would you mind sharing with me the rim and tire information. Thanks
