I guess the good news is we don’t need a lift kitLikewise . . .
Yes, no lift kit for the time being. Once I decide to start flexing this thing out, that will be another bridge to cross.I guess the good news is we don’t need a lift kit
Hey @McBeeve , Great looking Jeep!I thought so too, but since my earlier post, I've added the Teraflex 1.5" lift. That gave me back the gap in the wheel wells that I lost going to 35's.
I have no intention of going any higher, as it's my daily and a little bit of a stretch for me to now to climb in.
First of all, thank for the props Don and I'm happy to share my thoughts.Hey @McBeeve , Great looking Jeep!
I’m actually looking at the same rims and tires you have then stumbled upon your post.
If you don’t mind would you give me your feedback…
What is your opinion of the STT Pros? They ( the 315’s) are on my short list for several reasons, plus surprisingly there aren’t many options with RWL…Laces out baby! I’ve heard from folks they’re really good off road, but have mixed reviews on road, especially with being an E load and with road noise.
My Jeep is red, but I’ve been eyeing those rims in the in the gun metal gray like you have; they’re a classic look, plus I believe they only weigh 26-28lbs. Are you still pleased with them? One possibly off the wall question; did you use the stock lug nuts?
I appreciate your insight!
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly and for all the details; really appreciate your time.First of all, thank for the props Don and I'm happy to share my thoughts.
On the STT's, for me there were a couple other tires in the mix, but the white letters were the tie breaking factor for me. So far, I am VERY happy with the overall performance on and off road. After playing with tire pressures a little, I've personally found that 30psi is the sweet spot for reducing the added harshness of the E load rating....plus they passed the "wife test". The only slightly negative is the road noise, but with that said I've had tires in the past that were much worse. Will I buy again.....most definitely!
As for the wheels, I wasn't sure if the stock lug nuts would work so I ordered a set of chrome from Quadratec when I purchased the wheels. After installing them, I decided I didn't care for the chrome, so I ordered a set of black locking nuts from Gorilla. So far, the wheels and nuts have held up very well and I have had several compliments on their appearance.
Here is a pic of the chrome nuts (before I had the Cooper's installed)...
