@nota4re how do you like the Mopar's? I am close to ordering them. I am a little concerned about their weight and dragging the JLUR down a bit. I will likely run 315/70/17 KO2's but also considering Cooper SST Pros. I would like to color match the lock rings to Punk'n.
LOL - I've had the 315/70-17 KO2's mounted up with the Mopar wheels with the powdercoated red "true" locker rings since Saturday but I just got the Jeep yesterday. Yes, the Mopar's are heavy but with a heavy (35") tire on there, I'm not sure the weight of the wheel will be noticeable. My recommendation is that if your get the BFG's, get them in Load Range C which Ford "made" BFG do for the Raptor. They are hard to get right now but should be plentiful by end of April.

So far the ride is compltely fine. No rubbing at all and still mostly comfortable. I'm sticking to this setup for awhile!
Do you know what offset these are? Website shows they are available in -12, +18, +25?

Hey guys,

New wrangler owner - coming from a Grand Cherokee. I still have both but I pulled the trigger on the new JL because I fell in love with it. Took some time but i found the wheels I wanted and i think it looks AWESOME!

Tires: Mickey Thompson Deegan 38's (35x12.5x20)
Wheels: LRG Matte Black

Nice setup. What is the weight of the tires/wheels? I'm new to the jeep world and was wondering if there is a weight limit for tires/wheels. What is the offset? Thanks in advance.

Nice garage lift! Are you happy with it or would you rather have a four post lift?
