New Wheels and 35 inch Tires on my JLU Sport

[JL_MX]

OK, here it is. 2018 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited with Cooper STT PRO 325/65R15. No lift yet. Waiting for the mopar 2" lift.

Driving is much better than expected, about 10% harder than stock but still very comfortable. No rubbing with full steering wheel turn but it might rub with full flex, haven't tried it.

Road noise in city is same as stock, haven't tried in highway.

Spare wheel and tire left untouched because I don't know if the trunk gate will support the new weight.

Please share your thoughts and recomendacion.

Do you think the trunk gate will hold the new weight?

I don’t know since I’m new at this.

So after a day of driving this configuration, I can state that it is a little bumpier. I need to do the chalk test to regulate the tires pressure and also will install the 2" lift soon.

I still need help on finding out if the tailgate will support this new wheel and tire weight. Any thoughts??

Sweet!

That looks awesome! Only difference is I’m starting with Sahara. So my clearance is 2” less because of high line fenders.

What size tire, wheel and offset? Did you lift it? This look exactly like what I’m going for

 

[Jmpow79]

Same sizes and offset...just different wheels and tires. No rubbing, however, I'm waiting on the 2" lift before I take it offroad...

33 or 35?

@JL_MX looks awesome. Congrats.

Can you confirm those are 15” wheels? Clearing the calipers without issues?

I suspect he meant 17" as those don't look to be 15" wheels to me.

Agreed

I’m getting ready to pull the plug and get XD Addicts and BFG T/A KO2 LT315/70R17. I just wonder if I need to lift my JLU Sahara first. From what I see here it may not need lifted.
