33's on a Sport S

[alksion]

That's a good price.. Depending on demand in your area and how quickly you want to sell them you could list them for a little higher and see what response you get.

Awesome thanks

Sure... I put 35's on my stock Sahara. I would get a bit of rubbing in my wheel wells, but never saw any scuffing, damage or deformation traversing really uneven ground.

I've since bought hardtop Rubicon takeoff springs and shocks and used Teraflex 1/2" spacers for the rear and 1" for the front, mopar 2" lift LCAs all for under $300 and I got about 2" of lift from it, you'd get a little more upgrading from a sport.. It's temporary untill I get the expensive lift and shocks sometime in the next year or two. Feels pretty much identical to stock but with more clearance for cheap.

I have some brand new BFG K02 33s I need to list. What should I sell them for? I was thinking $600?

You're in CA... I'd suggest listing them for $1k and taking $800. They usually go pretty quick for $800.

Here's mine stock, with 295/70/17s on 17x8.5 +10 wheels (w/ stock suspension), then w/ Rubicon suspension (a 2" lift on the 2drs), then w/ a 3/4" front spacer to keep the front height after adding steel bumper and winch, then w/ high fender kit. Will be running 315/70/17s when these tires are shot. This setup works well if you want to keep maximum clearance but lower center of gravity.

And OP, my install thread including the Mopar LCAs (post #4) is here if you are a DIY guy.

Done thank you so much for the feedback. I have them listed.

33's fit the carrier/bumper fine. The radius is only something like .75" larger than the the stock tire radius.

Excellent. I assumed this might be the case, but wasn't 100% certain. Much appreciated!

@The Fixer @flipboltz Where did you guys get your Rubi rims/tires take off's? I've done a lot of searching online and can really only seem to find people selling the rims.

I found mine on the Marketplace. This was back when the JL was new and everyone was buying JLUR and immediately putting 37-40's on. There were tons. I got quite the deal.

Looks great! I have a 2-door Sport, and was thinking about a similar configuration with 17" rims and 33" tires, but wasn't sure if the spare would fit into the contour of the rear bumper. I can't tell from your photo, but is there sufficient clearance?

No issues at all. Proper clearance.

Top picture is Rubis no lift bottom is with Rubi diesel springs and shocks.

Here is the JLU Sport on Rubi takeoff tires and springs, setting on top of Mosquito Pass.

You can see what it really , really needs... mud flaps.

My 2019 JLU has 33's - Mickey Thompson MTZ BAJA P3's. We had to cut a little of the plastic under the front bumper. It rubs when making a 90 degree turn.

I considered doing Rubi take-offs as well on my JL Sport but ended up going with 33/12.5R/17 Atturo Trail Blades and I love them. Haven't had any issues off-road with these 33s and they are wider than the stock tires. Plan to eventually do a lift but love it as is right now.

Which wheels are those and what is the offset? Looks great.

Just got these off the marketplace a couple weeks ago. Very happy! They look and drive great, no issues at all. Good luck with your new setup!
