35" and 37" JL pics with lift kit

Interesting thing, I went to my 4wd store here in NJ,and they would not mount 35`s on a stock Rubicon rim. He explained why and after being in business since 1979 said they would rather loose a sale. He even went as far as calling BFG on speaker in the office and I had a great conversation with them.. let’s face it anything can be done if you want it, around here it’s hard to find someone who knows and has the equipment to do it

That’s too bad. With proper air pressure the stock wheel works very well with 37x12.5.

Any issues with the 37's on the stock 17 - 7.5 wheels? Tire discounters told me today that a 37" tire wouldn't work on a 7.5 wheel, but some others on here disagreed saying they would work. I've seen those rubi wheels on here with 37's, just curious if you've noticed any issues? Thanks

37’s are just fine with the stock wheels.

Mine is doing great with 37s and stock Rubi wheels! Have the 2.5 rc spacer lift and some wheel spacers.

What size spacers? Looks great!

I wouldn’t recommend wider than 12.5” though. Also, you may have to rotate them more often to keep them wearing evenly.

There are a few threads on here that go back and forth on the topic. Discount tire also told me it was company policy not to mount 37"s on the factory rim so I had to go to Big-O. My understanding is they claim the smaller rim will cause tire to bow out in the center causing uneven wear which is a warranty issue for them. My take away there is make sure you are running at the appropriate lower PSI to compensate. I honestly haven't put enough miles on them yet to see issues but I don't expect so based on feedback from others here who continue to give the thumb up.

Are they the 1.75" Spidertrax?

Thanks Man - I appreciate it.
I'm a fan of the "stock" look - If someone made my JL Rubi wheel in 8.5" and correct backspacing I would run that. But the old Hardrock wheel is a great compromise and it comes in a few different colors.

That is why I'm looking at these Quadratec '41 Wheels. They have same dimensions as the Hardrock wheel

I am running the 1 3/4 spydertax with my stick wheels.

That spare has no spacer so it stays nice and tight.

I used the mopar reinforcement bracket and relocation bracket.

Again, thanks for that. I really love those stock wheels and won't to replace them.
