Just bought a set of 500 mile Rubicon wheels and tires from a fellow forum member. Was a toss up between the 270/70/R18 KO2s or that and frankly it was cheaper to take the complete wheels and tires.

Seen a few Saharas with that switch and they looked really good, especially in black. Wheels should be here by Thursday, will try to get them fitted by next weekend and post some pics.

Thanks all

I went from stock 18” Michelin A/T’s to 17’s with 33” KO2’s and really like the ride and look, no rubbing yet.

Very Cool.
I read a Thread while back about having trouble finding Grab Handles for the Sky Power Tops. There is very limited space between Rollbar and Power Top. He said he used older Mopar JK Grab Handles for his New Jeep. I just put some on and they work good. The other Grab Handles too big and would interfere with Top moving. Post pictures when you get Jeep set up.

Thinking about 285/65/18 on JLU Sahara in stock wheels. No concern on figment other than what previous poster mentioned that this size tire has recommended min width rim of 8” and stock rim width is 7.5”. Will shops install without issue and is there any safety concern? Tires are E rated so I would think the .5” difference won’t compromise sidewalk integrity but don’t want to be unsafe with children in car etc. is the .5” rim width a concern?
