Hello...I'm new to the forum and a first time Jeep owner. Have a new JLU Sahara with 18" rims. Was wondering if anyone has added Nitto ridge grapplers or Dick Cepek extreme country tires to their new wrangler with stock rims and no lift? Would love to see pics or hear feedback. Thanks

great info, thanks! I have opted for the 305 KO's as I do a lot of highway driving and want something aggressive looking and quiet.
Did the 305's fit on the stock 18" rims without a lift and no clearance issues?

I love this thread, I priced and was all set for wheels and tires (after an intense off-road trip). Turned out it was cheaper to trade and buy a Rubicon over modifying my Sahara

I have a Sahara and would love a Rubicon. How did it happen? Any help would be appreciated

As a first time Jeep owner I appreciate all the info in this thread. Purchased a JLUS and plan on putting on MT Sidebiter 2 with 285/75/17 Ridge Grapplers, no lift yet. Was concerned about rubbing but you answered my questions. Ty

KMC XD Monster 2's with Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/75R17's. Absolutely no rub, C-rated rubber, and with the pressure down to 35 they ride just like the stock wheels.

Anyone tried installing 285/75R18 with stock Sahara wheels and no lift? I currently have 285/65R18 and there’s lots of room and I really want to install 285/75R18 Duratracs.

Different but related question - where are all of you shopping/buying your wheel and tire combos? What recommended sites?

Anyone running 295+ on stock rim without rub on LCAs? Don't care about lift rub, my main concern is rubbing on steering components, since I can't afford to upgrade wheels.

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.

Im new to the forums and new to the Jeep community just bought my first Jeep a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Sahara UL totally love it. but looking at ideas for rim and tire upgrade to give it a more aggressive look. I like the setup you have here what was the offset on those rims? Im trying to avoid doing a lift its pretty much all street driving.

Related question. I put 24k miles on my 2018 Sahara with AT tires. Still have pretty good tread. What is the life expectancy of your off road tires in comparison?

I wont need tires for quite some time as Jeep is buying my Sahara back and I am getting a 2019 Sahara now, but when the time comes I would like a more aggressive tire as well. Just curious what the detriment to lifespan is.

Did either of you have an issue with the spare tire running on anything?

Do you have any issues with the spare tire rubbing on the stock bumper?
