37" tires on a 2 door JL...silly looking?

[phatjoe]

Hey,

In the near future I will be embarking on a JL build. From a cost perspective, I'd like to focus on a 2 door wrangler.

I'm going back and forth on 35" or 37" tires. I know the 37s may require more work, which I'm fine with that.

My biggest concern...will a 2 door wrangler with 37s look too Tonka toyish? Anyone have pics to share?

The goal is to do a very mild degree of off-roading...

Thanks

Bigger is better

I originally wanted 37”, but after adding the Mopar lift to my Rubicon, the 33” tires look “right” so I think the 35” will look perfect IMO!

I have “35s” more like 34” tall though

Mines a sport, so dana 30 front axle.

Right now I plan to regear it to 4.56 and add a real lift (i have rubicon springs and shocks for a lift now)

I like to have fun and wheel hard and think 37s would be to much for a dana 30 in my case so ill be sticking with 35s for awhile.

My list is regear, winch, rubicon fenders as im rubbing the fenders pretty bad and its not fully bumped

That's what she said.

It does look like a Tonka truck but I love it. 35s look good too though. Rubicons autos take 37s no problem.

Even if it does look Tonka toyish, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, who doesn’t love Tonka trucks!! ....

So, you're more concerned with how it looks than functions? You would be the only one to satisfy in that case.

Do Rubicons with manual transmissions not take well to 37’s?

I hear 6th gear is basically a no go. Someone did the math, and to make it feel like factory again, you would need to re-gear to 4.6 something. Since they don't make that, 4.88's would be an ideal re-gear for 37's on a Rubicon with manual trans

Here's one of the best looking 2 door with 37's on this forum.

I got inspired by it and ordered same tires earlier this week for my 2door JL sport manual.

And I am the one who got his 315 take offs!!

They do make 4.56 gears for a Dana 44.
