It's a JLUR, and I did 18's because I like the way the look. Didn't want 20's.

For the people that have done 35's. The third track light doesn't need to be relocated, right? I've read that it will adjust high enough to be over the tire. That's as long as you don't go bigger than 35's.

Yes, 35x12.5R18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers installed today. Moved the 3rd brake light to the last adjustable hole. 2" Synergy Stage 1 Lift coming soon. No rubbing at stock height right now on 2019 Sahara JLU. Fuel rims with -12 offset.

Looks good. Tires are here, and 2 of the 5 wheels. Just waiting on the other 3 to show up. Hopefully today or tomorrow.

It can adjust up and fit over 37s actually. I have a lighter 37 setup and haven’t done anything to factory tire carrier or bumper and my 37 inch spare fits. I have the plastic bumper and it slightly rubs it but don’t mind as it helps support it. I did extend the factory tailgate tire supports so that they would touch the tire and not allow it to hang.

Well, here it is. They still have to put on the Tailgate Reinforcement. Looks killer. They wheels almost match the paint. I'll get a couple of better pics when they are done.

Thanks. I never would've thought they would look that good on it. I'm super happy.

So, after putting about 150 miles on the tires. Here's my take on them. Drive: they ride excellent. Have them set at 36 PSI. No shake or shimmy at any speeds. Handles bumps in road very well. They don't follow the grooves or wander. Fuel: This is the bad. I lost about 3 MPG with them. It's a Jeep so I never expected great fuel mileage, and knew these would drop it. Getting about 16.5 MPG now. Transmission: With 4.10 gears it still does go to 8th gear. It will shift down to 7th, and 6th a lot quicker than it used, and stay in 7th longer. That was expected. They do weight considerably more than the stock. Didn't put them on a scale, but just picking them up. I would guess about 10+ pounds difference. Maybe more. Overall: I am completely happy with my purchase. I'm guessing with them being 12 ply. As long as I keep them rotated. They should last forever. I know several people running the exact same tire on there 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. They are getting 60,000, and that's on a heavy truck. With how little the Jeep weighs. I should get at least 10,000+ more miles out of them.
