Love this setup, nice color as well my girl is all black. Looking at these wheels and similar tires for my JLUR. I may do the Jeep Performance lift at a later date but also plan to run standard Rubicon suspension in the interim. Were spacers required for this setup? Also what was needed to mount the 5th wheel? Information online seems limited or isn't consistent. Thanks in advance for any info.

I saw on TFL the classic look of their JT wheels and liked it a lot, so I got Procomp 7069 and Procomp 37s from Discount tire. I also like the light weight of the combination.

I love these style wheels but they all seam to have a lot of poke on the JLs. I have a JLUR and want to try and keep the tire under the fenders as much as possible. Anyone know of a similar wheel that is hub centric and has more back spacing?

Thanks man,

No wheel spacers, the offset of the wheels gives it the wider stance.

I did a 2" spring spacer lift and mopar extended control arms after those photos. Similar setup served me well on a 2011 JLUR so its all good. No rubbing at full flex with the extended bumpstops from the kit.

Nothing special needed to mount 5th wheel. The tire barely touches the mopar steel rear bumper. I added extended bumpstops to prevent shaking but thats it.

She looks great, thanks for the information. Those rims are def mean looking. Just wanted to confirm the 35s would fit as Jeep advertised for the stock Rubicons without any drama. I'll get around to the lift, was looking at the Mopar kit and fox shocks but open to other setups to get the height. Now just to find some spare cash for everything lol. What route did you go for the speedo calibration? I know the dealers can but cost is unknown compared to the DIY programmers.

You can fit 35" on a Rubicon with no lift and get a little rubbing at full flex from what I remember.

I use a Tazer Mini to calibrate the speedometer and disable the ESS garbage ;-)

Thanks again for the info! Wound up pulling the trigger on the 7069s and 35x12.5s off your photos and came out retro/badass... exactly what I was looking for.

I've been looking at some wheels like this. I have to agree with the comment about it looking better on the 2-door models. Seems to compliment the less "busy" appearance of the 2-door more so than the 4-door, where there's more of a contrast between the irregularvehicle shape vs the circle pattern.

I've also been known to talk directly out of my rear, so....
