Fitting 37s on JLU?

[EjNappe]

I was just wondering if anybody has had experience putting 37 inch tires on a jeep wrangler JLU?

I am currently running a 2.5 inch lift with 35s, with plans to go to a 3.5 with the goal of 37s. I am also regearing to 4.88 and installing an Adams driveshaft. I am worried about rubbing with JLU fenders.

What is your trim? Rubicon fenders will have no trouble running 37s with the setup you describe. I'll let someone else chime in on the non Rubicon style.

If it's a non-rubicon, each wheel is about 3/4" inboard of a Rubicon. So, you're going to need a wheel with less backspace. I'd say a 3.5" backspace wheel should work to keep the tire from rubbing chassis components. I have 4.5" backspace on my Rubicon with 37s. As for rubbing on the fenders, I can't answer that, but the 3.5" backspace would help that too, just on the inboard areas of the liners.

Do you have D44s?

Is that picture in Sandstone Canyon/Fish Creek Wash?

You will need 3.5 inch backspace or wheel spacers. You will rub the upper plastic inner fenders.

Yes it is!

I have a 21 Sahara High Altitude ecodiesel with Dana 44s in the front and rear.

I installed a Dynatrac 2" lift with the lower control arms out of the Mopar 2" lift on my 21 JLU with 37s. These pictures are not factory fenders but they run just fine with factory.

@73TAWM love the Army green! Are those Method Race wheels in the bottom pic?

I have a 21 JLUR with a Mopar 2.5” lift, 37” tires and -13 offset Beast rims. No rubbing or problems.

They are!
Usually that's the first thing people change but it took over a year, and after several other mods before I changed wheels. I was waiting for a good deal. Found one at a local Overlanding Convention in Missouri.

Can't argue waiting for a good deal!
