Are these fuel vapors? If so what offset please and thank you ! And great ride!35x12.5x17 Ridge Grapplers and no lift. Ride is smooth at 30 psi and no issues with rubbing.
THIS LOOKS FN GREAT! Questions/ How do like the SST Pros for onroad driving? And did you splurge the $1000 or so for a tailgate reinforcement, HD tire carrier, and 3rd brake light relo? Please and thank you.Just got the new shoes mounted! I love the combo. Yes I know it's dirty, hitting the trails in the morning.

No lift yet.
I need to play with tire pressure a bit to give an honest opinion on the SST's I have them at 36 but I believe I need to go down to 30 or so to get a better experience. No need to relocate the third brake light, it clears the tire by a hair. And yes I did get the Mopar relocation/tailgate reinforcement kit. Hope that helps.THIS LOOKS FN GREAT!

Road noise?? I'm having those put on my Rubi in a couple of days, and having the rings powder coated as well.35’s with no lift. Mopar headlock wheels with +12 offset. Rings were off to the powdercoater.
Not bad actually. I expected way more. Very comparable with the stock KO2’s. I had significantly more road noise with my KO2’s on my GMC Canyon as it wore down a bit. Not sure if it’s the wider side lugs or what, but these newer KO2 tires get really noisy towards the end of their useful life.
Your set up looks great. How did the spare fit?Wheels/tires put on yesterday. Ended up keeping the -12s. Sticks out further than I would have liked but its not too bad.

18x9 -12
Thanks to everyone who helped with some of my questions.

what color did you get the rings painted? I'm going with body color (firecracker red) and not sure if it'll be too much.
Thanks! I probably would have liked the +1 offset better but only talking a 1/2”. Didn’t feel like waiting another week to swap out, lol. I was able to get the spare on without the relo bracket, the tire barely touches the bumper. The rear cam can see bottom of wheel but still functional.
Good deal. Sounds like everything worked out as expected .
How would you say your ride quality is compared to stock? I am going back and forth on 17s vs 18s and trying to stay with a C rated tire vs E both for ride quality as I want to be able to go on a 2hr drive in comfort.My rims are 18x9 with +20 offset so the back camera was not an issue. The reinforcement kit did have extended bumpers which fit my set up perfectly. I wasn't happy with the 3rd brake light so I did install the Mopar relocation kit.
I wanted to keep the sidewall ratio the same when going to 35's so I chose to go with 18's. There are a number of tire options when going with 18's but the only non e rated tire in 35 is the Goodyear Duratrac which is D rated. I run the tires at 35 in the front and 33 in the rear. I think the ride is close to stock and love the way it rides with the 35's. There are plenty of people who like the look of 35's on 17 and you can get the Bfg Ko2 in c rated. I would personally not go with e rated tires on the Jeep if you are looking for a smooth ride.
Any rubbing on this setup?I just mounted mine. fuel beast 20x12 -44 offset with 35x13.5 ridge grapplers.
