Why did you change the wheels ? those fuels hostage was so bad as# looking ! how do the 37s ride on the highway? if i needed to make a road trip for about 500 miles are the 37s OK to do that ? and how is the power with the 410 gears with 37s ? did you lse a lot of power and MPG?

Nice looking setup. Can you tell me the overall height of your jeep with that setup. Trying to see if I can still fit in my garage or not once I get mine installed.
HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT ROUGH COUNTRY SPACER LIFT ? THE MOPAR 2 INCH JUST SEEMS LIKE IT LIFTS IT HIGHER LIKE A 3 WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Thanks for everyone’s help on here! Decided to try out the Nitto 35s with the 2inch lift. May end up switching to 37s later.
so you put the stock wheels on a 35 tire ? it looks good. you have just enough wheel well it looks good. do you think the 37s will look stuffed in the RC 2.5 spacer lift ? because the 37s look perfect with the 2 mopar lift but i think the mopar 2 is really lifting it 3 by the way it looks and i have heard that to

I know you asked for with lift pictures, but here are a few of 37's without. My temporary lift should be going on within the next week so I can keep them on, just wanted to test fit them as soon as I picked up my JL

You and I think alike! I am in the same boat and have been going back and forth between 35's and 37's. However, because mine is also a DD, the 35's probably make more sense as Jeep designed the new Rubi to take 35's easily with the 2" Mopar lift. I don't think the minimal gains of the 37" tires are worth the hit in gas and drive-ability. Then again, this is my first Jeep and that statement is only based on assumption, not experience. I am hoping others will chime in as most, if not all forum members here are way more knowledgeable than me :) Would I like to have the 37's? Heck yes, but at what cost? If other members can confirm that the difference between both sizes is minimal, then I may be persuaded to go 37's. Ultimately, I want a fairly compliant ride on road, but still want great capability off-road and I know 37's would be better for the latter, but by how much?
Did the airbags deploy?
how much are these a wheel anyone know ? and how do i find these wheels for sale ?

where can you get that in a 37 12.5 17 for 238 a tire ? i would like to get them at that price ? wonder how much the toyo mt 37 weighs in at a tire ?
Amazon, they are now about 256.00 including shipping, no tax.

Not all 37’s are created equal, not all are a full 37”, These Mastercraft Courser MXT s are on the smaller size like the BFGoodrich KO2 s are and like the KO2 they are light. 69-71 lbs. much better DD for those who mostly use it as a DD and some wheeling. The Toyo MT is an average size 37”, makes a really good rock tire, heavy duty but a little heavy for DD, 84-86 lbs. check out this link for a good resource on almost all the 37’s out there with their size, price and weight. And then decide what your using your Jeep for.

I like the RC spacer lift for daily driving, but I will eventually end up with a long travel setup or coilovers.
I find I have to switch gears more often with the 37s & 4.10's, but I actually prefer the slightly longer first gear in my 6spd with the 37s. I will eventually re-gear, but for the way I drive my Jeep(slow and steady) the 4.10s are fine on the road.

I just read the entire 41 pages and enjoyed all the pictures and talks. My Jeep should be here in 3 weeks and am still torn between 35's and 37's. I love the look of the 37's just have to figure out correct offset and backspacing with not too much tire sticking out but just the right amount. Seems pretty critical. Hopefully by the time mine shows it will be a clearer.
I’m with you. I know the Lift companies will step up so I also want to know what offset I need.
