Hey Everyone!

I have been considering putting Rubicon rims and K02 take offs on my sport. Has anyone done this, do they fit? and photos if you have them.

thanks!

There’s lots of info for you to see on this topic if you google “Wrangler JL Sport Rubicon wheels”. Much of it will steer you right back here to jlwranglerforum.

No issues, spedo is off a bit so would need to be reflashed... there’s also a lot of forums on this if you search, 8th gear doesn’t ever kick in over 70mph with bigger tires, gas mileage definitely goes down without the Rubi gear ratio, etc

Before and after photo attached...

Wow night and day difference!

Reminds me of the before and after pictures in weight loss ads :cwl:. First one you have the euro bumpers, no steps, top on. Jeep looks sad.
Bottom one has steps big tires, top and doors off, bumper fixed. Hell yeah!
