I don’t have much knowledge about tires and was hoping someone can give me some insight. I want to upgrade my 33s to 35s on my 2 DR JL Rubicon.
I’m looking at these 3 tire/wheel combo
35x12.5R18 will go on a 18 x 8.5 (Offset 0mm)
285x75R18 will go on a 18 x 8.5 (Offset 0mm) (I know this more of a pizza cutter look)
315x70R17 will go on a 17 x 9 (Offset -12mm)
Couple of questions
1- What are the advantages/disadvantages of going from R17 to R18 (in terms of safety, city driving, …) if any?
2- Aesthetically does an 18 inch wheel look better on 35” tires than a 17 inch? The Wheel I’m looking to purchase looks really sharp in a bigger size but I really don’t want to go up to 20”.
3- Would the first two tire size work with that wheel combo?
Sorry if these are stupid questions just trying to learn what works, what is safe, etc.
