How did they fit? Any rubbing?

Nope, lots of room.

I have 35's on my JL, no lift. These wheels have a -12 off set, so they stick out, don't listen to people who say they'll rub on a speed bump, I've climbed on some big stuff just to test it, they won't rub. You would have to disconnect and get really serious before you'll have any issue. I've owned many Jeeps, right now I have 5, I love this set up. Rides like it did the day I picked it up!

Are those 315/70/17 ? thanks

275/70r18s with no fit problems either!

I really like your set up... do you have more pictures

New to forum. After following here I went with Nitto’s 285/75/17 on Rockstar 3s. Been running a week with no issues.

Speedometer is off at higher speeds 2-3 mph. I’m wondering if anyone running these is considering doing a speedo calibration. Dealer tells me it shouldn’t be an issue but so far I get the feeling I know as much as they do.

Hello all,

I haven't seen any tire upgrades on the upgraded Sahara wheels (18'). Would I be able to get 35's with no lift?

Hi Lou...There are pics throughout this forum that show 35's being stuffed into a sport and Sahara. They will fit, however, you will have no flexing room. Further, the stock wheel offset is +44.25. They will rub when you turn the wheel. I would not do it. The largest tire I have seen that works is either 285/75/17 or what I have...295/70/17. I have pics of my Jeep on here, just search for them.

My wheels have a +18 offset and work perfectly with clearance all the way around. Please look at:

This site will allow you to plug in different wheel and rim sizes to see what works.

If you want 35's, you should go with a minimum 2 inch spacer lift or full component lift. I would hate to see you waste the money on a setup that will be frustrating.

Thanks for the advice.

I like that look. Im going to either do that or get the standard rubi takeoffs once I need a new set of tires...

Did you have any problems getting your spare to fit? Any modifications required?

Beautiful!!! Can you please give details on Tire/ wheel set up (brand and size). Thanks!

I ended up doing the speedometer calibration and glad I did. Transmission is noticeably smoother. Recent additions are white inserts for Rockstar 3s and dirty dog mesh tops for front and back.

Can’t decide if I like the wheels better with the contrast or all black.

Nice! Both look really good, I'm a fan of the all Black but both look great!
Did you have the dealer do the calibration? I'm running 315/70/17 (about 34.5") and I love them, no rub whatsoever, I didn't care about the calibration but I didn't realize that it would shift better.
Thanks!

Yeah I read some info on eighth gear having trouble with bigger tires but I mostly noticed 2-3 and 3-4 being a little more jerky than stock. I did have the dealer do it for $180. Didn’t really want to invest in a tuner

Are those 315/70/17 ? thanks

Yes, 315/70/17. 3,000 miles, no issues
