Are my 35s tiny ?

[JustDave]

Is my stance correct ????

I had installed on my 392 the Rock Krawler Xfactor No Limits 2.5 kit for the V6 JLU... but then changed the springs to those rated for the 392 (e.g. SKU RK7986 fronts and RK07017 rears still for 2.5) and now the Jeep seems sitting a bit too high.... don't you think ? Anybody has the same setup and could share a pic to compare ? the tyres are 35s .... they seem tiny now !

I kind of went through the same thing. Put on a 2 inch Mopar lift which raised it closer to 4. Put 35's on & they looked small. Sold them & put 37's on & now I'm happy.

I'd say measure from the top of your tire to the bottom of your fender on the centerline. Anything over about 9.5" is going to look like the tires are too small IMHO.

Don't know if you answered the other post, but what did you lift the vehicle for? If it is just aesthetics then 37's will probably make you feel better. Those current tires on your ride have a diameter of 34.6"

I ran into the same issue on my little Sport S. Had 33’s on it that looked huge with the ride height. Lifted it in prep for 35’s and now the 33’s look like donuts.

While a bit odd when looked at from the profile, it looks much better from the front and it's highly functional... for the moment I decided to stick to my 35s that have still much mileage to give, when I will need to change them I will consider 37s... thanks all for the help in making me decide !

Just always look at your Jeep from this angle, looks just fine, from the side they do look a bit small in the fenders, but like mentioned above, better than not enough room. Great Jeep you've got there, I can only imagine what a 392 would sell for over in the UAE.

After all said and done, the intention to initially stick with 35s, I decided to give her new shoes and move to a 37 setup, with Cooper STT pro on the same 17 inches wheels like before... it looks better also from the side now...

Mine after a 3.5” lift with 35s. And yeah the tires are tiny. Who’d think 35s are tiny, until you put a lift on.

Good photos, I spent hours looking at threads trying to convince myself that the 35s would look ok. Of course I knew KO2s run small and I would be disappointed. It only took me about thirty minutes after the lift to abandon my hopes and pull into discount for the 37s.

Purely my subjective opinion and strictly aesthetically speaking, but after looking at hundreds of JLs, at stock-height, the 2-doors look fine on 33" and 4-doors look better on 35" tires. Lifted, the 2-doors look better on 35" and the 4-doors on 37" tires (those same sizes at stock-height also look okay, as do slightly larger tires if lifted).

It's not about the measurements. It's about what the f%@k you're doing with them.

Those wheels are damn fine though.

C’mon —Admit it, the reason for the thread was for support to convince yourself to get the 37’s you really wanted! And It Worked!

Sport/Sahara/Willis - you only need a 2" coil spring lift and apt shocks to run 35s. If you are Sahara, you can add 0.75" to the advertised lift size. Anything more than a true 2" lift on non-rubicon and anything more than 1.5" lift on a Rubicon deserves 37s

1.5" coil + 0.5" spacer + Fox shocks. 35s are apt and at the absolute limit of what this lift can handle
