Hey Everyone,
I have a 2018 JLUR. I am an avid snow skier and am trying to decide the best option for snow tires on the Rubicon. I know that the BFG KO2’s are decent snow tires, but I want a dedicated, studded winter tire for getting up to Timberline Lodge consistently throughout the winter. I honed in on the Nokian Hakka LT3 tire and initially planned to get the 285/70R17 size to match the stock size KO2’s. However, I will get better performance in the snow from a narrower tire, Nokian offers a 235/80R17 in this tire, the only issue is that comes out to a 32 inch tire rather than 33. My question is whether you guys think a 32 inch tire on the higher Rubicon fender flares will look bad? I don’t want the space between the tire and fenders to be excessive. Any pictures of people running this would be much appreciated, but I doubt anyone has examples of a 32 on a JLU Rubicon. Thanks for any input!
