I believe that’s how the guy I met had them. Just moved the front seats up a bit and had all five wheels/tires in the back with the back seats folded downI am thinking of taking a friend with me so the passenger seat will be occupied. I can adjust the driver and passenger seats by moving them a little forward. Will it be fine with just the rear seats folded down?
I'm another person who put 5 Rubicon takeoff tires in the back. I folded down the back seats but did not have to move the front seats. My front seats are typically all the way back. I stood all 5 tires up. I rolled 3 in side by side setting on the back seat, then put 2 more in the back going sideways. The back ones rocked around a little bit front to back so would occasionally bump against the rear window. You could roll up a blanket or towel and put it back there for padding.I believe that’s how the guy I met had them.

How much did you get. I'll be selling mine. I didn't upgrade wheels or tires on my JLR order.The guy that bought my Rubi takeoffs couldn't fit all 5. He had to come back for the 5th.
I got $800, but that was back in summer 2019. Not sure what the going rate is now. That said, I was also a victim of the higher prices back then. I paid a combined $3,000 for the Mopar front and rear steel bumpers and a premium soft top.How much did you get. I'll be selling mine. I didn't upgrade wheels or tires on my JLR order.

There's no significant speedometer difference. It's 32 (old) vs 32.6 (new) inches. Speedo change is about .2 mph.If you have an impact wrench you could also swap all of the tires out on-site and then put your smaller Sahara wheels/tires in the back. Just watch your speed going home, your speedo will be off by about 3-4 mph on the highway.
For the readers who have a Sport- going from the 245 minivan tires to Rubi KO2 takeoffs will be somewhere between 3.5 and 4% difference, meaning at 70mph indicated speed on the highway you will be doing 72-73mph.There's no significant speedometer difference.

Hey. I thought I'd pull this up and refresh my memory. This is the Rubicon KO2s vs Sahara stockers. It's a bit more than my estimate.For the readers who have a Sport- going from the 245 minivan tires to Rubi KO2 takeoffs will be somewhere between 3.5 and 4% difference, meaning at 70mph indicated speed on the highway you will be doing 72-73mph.
I've checked this roughly on some of the little "your speed is __" radar signs in construction zones, but I've also logged my mileage from gas station to gas station on some 2000 mile highway trips and then checked the mileages for multiple legs in google maps.
That reminds me- I can probably do another check using my GAIA GPS. I'll try that the next time I'm on the road and remember it.

== ==Hello,
I am thinking of buying a set of Rubicon take-off wheels. The seller is 100 miles away and I need to pick them up from his place. So, I am wondering if I can lower my back seat and fit them in there, or do I have to rent a pickup truck? Please advise.
Thank you
