35's with Dirty Life wheels no lift

[Cypher]

Got some new shoes today, still waiting for my 5th wheel to show up and I couldn't wait.

Wheels: Dirty Life DT-1's
Tires: Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35x12.5 R17
Suspension: Stock Rubicon

@Warpath How do you like the DT1 so far? Any issues with them not being balanced well? I am ready to place my order for them, but I checked with Quadratec and they said that these are lug centric, and not hub centric and that they do not come with a hub centric ring. I have had issues in the past with other wheels that were only lug centric, as they always had a weird vibration. I know a lot of wheels use a centering ring, but looks like Dirty Life does not.

Do you have any regrets with the wheels, or still happy with them?

@x7tristan , what are your thoughts after running them a while?

Stil love them! No vibrations, they were easily roadforced balanced. If I'd do it all over again, I'd look for a lighter tire, ridge grapplers are on the heavy side. Also wish the beadlock rings weren't an extra $100 cuz I'm going to eventually change to them

Finally got my Dirty Lifes in Gunmetal with Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 35x12.5r17.

No lift on this, right? That looks great. I am about to pull the trigger on the same exact gunmetal DL wheels for my blue JLUR.

:rolls Eyes: this is why i hate this forum

Funny I was thinking the same thing about you when I saw your reply. What a dick.

The Dirty Life wheels are nice looking and it is cool that the tires can be mounted standard or beadlock.

I spoke to a rep at Dirty Life about the wheels. The 17x9 come in at about 50 pounds. Super heavy! Is the jeep feeling it?

I have these wheels too and I never even checked on the weight. I was so anal about tire weight and I never even thought about the wheels. I can tell you I was running my 37s on the stock wheels with spacers and when I had these wheels installed I didn't notice a difference at all.

Wanted to follow up on this thread with everyone that has these - any issues with vibrations, etc? Looking to order them in 17x9 and run 35x12.5x7 KM3s on my 2019 JLUR.

I placed an order for AEV Borahs last week and upset find out that they wouldn't even ship until later this week - these I've been eyeing for a while and like the fact almost half the price and no need to paint a ring. Only concern is not being hub centric.

I’m running the dirty life wheels, I love them, they’re a little heavy, but not that bad for a bead lock, they’re a really well made wheel. I’m on 37s.

 

[jeepmikey]

Nice! Is there a better offset than -12 or 4.5 of backspacing to prevent them from sticking out as much?

Also, did you guys do road force balancing or normal balancing was fine - and no issues due to these not being hub centric?

I'm planning on running the 17x9s with 35x12.5x17 KM3s just trying to figure out what offet to run.

 

[RUSTYS]

I haven't had any problems with mine. I was running 37s and now 38s with 3.5" backspacing.

 

[jeepmikey]

Are most of you running the 3.5 or 4.5 backspace?

I really wanted the AEV Borah wheels but couldn’t be more upset with AEV customer service. Now I’m at a place where it’s not worth twice the money for those wheels.

What size of tire do you plan on running? If you're going with 35 - 37 4.5" backspacing is probably what you'll want. 38s or larger most people I think are running 3.5". Also I prefer the wide stance look.

Here’s a straight on pic, these are -12 offset and 4.5 backspace which works good with my rk lcas, because they’re straight and not bent inward. Tires are 37/12.50/17. They balanced out perfectly without much weight at all....
