Hmmm....if only there were a dedicated section on this forum for pics. Would be awesome if it had multiple categories, for colors and lifts and tire sizes. I bet a section like that could have over 62,000 posts. If only.....

That's a good idea, why don't we do that. And put it somewhere that new members can find it.

It appears to me that all of the stock rims are the same width- Sport steel, Sport alloy, Willys, Altitude, Sahara, Rubicon, so they should all be capable of larger tires. But there might be a difference in backspacing that will need to be dealt with by adding spacers. I read somewhere else that the tire selection for 18s isn't as good as for 17s.

275/70-18 looks just right, especially with that lift.

275/70/18 with a 2" spacer lift.
l know its an old thread, a few questions. I'm planning on doing something similar to my 2021 Sahara Sarge 6sp, looking at new Quadratec 1.75" lift with Fox 2.0 shocks and 275-70-18 Toyo OC At3. Main question is was there any other geometry adjustments you needed to main in order to keep geometry in check? Track bars, LCA's, brake line extensions, etc and the like...??? Your Jeep looks great BTW...
