33's on a Sport/Sahara?

[RAZA]

How's the MPG looking for those who went to 33s?

Seriously considering making the jump, but the gas prices up here are atrocious.

20x9 fuel beast, 33’s Duratrac on Sahara... No Rub of course

Looks fantastic! Two thumbs up!

I have one question for you. I am seriously thinking about going with the Duratracs, but am concerned about a few reports I've read about tire noise. Could you tell me about your experience regarding tire noise from your Duratracs, so far? Thanks!

I am picking up my new Sahara on Friday. I am having my dealer swap out the all season tires for BFGoodrich 33" Ko2's. I am very excited but concerned about tire noise.

The Sahara is 32.1 so 33 isn't a big deal. I put Rubi wheels on and it looks perfect. The lower fenders on Sahara make the wheels look right, and the extra 1" width.

No noise issue, they aren't mudder tires they are designed to be quiet.

this looks amazing! any straight on shots that show how far the wheels stick out past the fenders? and what offset did you go with? Fuel shows two offset options for those wheels

I was concern with tire noise myself... was deciding between KO2 and Duratracs. I have no regrets with the Duratracs.... as a daily driver, no tire noise at all on my end!

I went with 1 offset. I think the other option was -18 offset but it was a little too much for me

Upgraded Sahara wheels sitting on BF Goodrich Ko2 33". The ride feels great.

Don't know, wife's jeep, I'll look at the dash tomorrow, it's been 22/23 for the first 4K.

Just updated mine...Toyo Open Country A/T on 17” Fuel wheels. Very pleased with the look. No rub at all thus far. Certainly heavier...I can feel in the pedal and transmission that it takes more to drag these things around with me than the stock Sahara wheels. Also more drift and louder. And, MPG average down from mid 19s to mid 17s. But, it’s all exactly what I expected and I’m good with it.

33s DO rub a bit on Sport S with no lift. I didn't think there was any rub at first ... even when I turned the tires to full extremes & got out and looked. But, in a few parking instances, the tires did slightly rub the bottom of the plastic piece that bridges the bumper to the fender flare. I planned on removing those pieces, but just haven't gotten around to it.

I have a 2.5" boost (using stock suspension) boxed in my garage waiting to go on. I'm not sure yet whether I'm going to do it myself or have someone install the lift who will also do the alignment. If I put it on soon, I'll post pics.

Looks great!

Here ya go

Dude, that looks amazing. I wanna go that route. It's aggressive, but not show boaty.

Aside from the lift, rims and tires, did u have to do anything else? Spacers, brakes, etc? About how much did it set u back?

Well done!

Anyone want to help a sister out? I just ordered my daughter a turbo JL sport S 2dr. I was thinking about throwing my tires on to hers (since I am getting 35s soon), but I think I'd rather just get her some Duratracs to start with. (We've had great experiences with them here in the ice and snow).. Anyone know what size I can order her in that brand? Its the 33x12 or 285x11 numbers I've seen that confuse me. We will be getting her aftermarket 17 wheels at the same time if that matters.
