XR wheels on JLR

[JLR_AEV]

Mostly trying to see if you had to cut or trim anything to prevent them from rubbing. Particularly when you do a hard turn.

My question about having them on long term was more about if the change in geometry affected anything negatively.

I know it’s only about an inch and a half difference in tire size so it doesn’t seem like it should cause any long term problems, but I’ve been leery of just adding larger tires without adjusting the suspension.

If you have a Rubicon you don't need to trim or cut anything to fit that tire size(I am pretty sure for a non rubicon as well)Especially the BFG brand since they do run smaller than most tires . With the Rubicon wider axles it can easily fit the wheel well with no rubbing on the shock or control arms. Also with the+12mm offset of the XR wheel it will push out the wheel out more vs the +44mm offset on stock wheels.

Thanks for the insight!

Just wanted to document this for anyone going with a slightly bigger tire and going for the XR wheels and no lift

Wanted to capture different angels up close and far because that is what usually helps me determine the wheel purchase

Your Jeep looks great. I am thinking of adding some take off 2024 XR (non 392) wheels and tires. To run yours, did you add any kind of lift? I have been told that there Will not be any rubbing, even on mild to moderate off road trails, on a two door JLR. Also, did you re gear and, if not, did you notice a decrease in performance? What are you going to do for a tire carrier? Thanks.

Mine is a sport with jlur diesel springs which before winch and bumpers gave me a 3"~ lift. Now I'd say it's about a 1.5-2 inch lift. I haven't seen it flexed yet so unsure for clearances. i have the 3.45 gearing currently and it's still drivable, but I have some takeoff Xr axles I will be swapping in with 4.56 gears which should be perfect. I used the xr tire carrier which is made to fit the 35s and just bolted on, guy I got the wheels from just gave it to me.

These XR wheels were only available for 2 1/2 model years . Late 2021-2023. 2024 are a different style wheel but still Beadlock capable.

So from what I understand, the 24' Willys now comes with the Rubicon suspension, 33” tires, and hi-line fender flares.

I’m wondering—would 24'+ 392 XR take-offs fit without a lift on this setup?

Also, does anyone know if the wheel offset is different on the 24' + 392 Final Edition XR wheels VS standard XR wheels?

The XR 35” tire package comes with a 1.5” lift and longer bumpstops to prevent the 35s from hitting the fenders when flexed.
The XR wheels and tires should fit fine because I do believe the 24+ Willys also has the wider Rubicon axles but you may require a bit of lift to wheel it.

Thanks! Yeah, my ‘25 Willys 2-door came with Dana 44 axles front and rear, and Rubicon fender flares from the factory.

From what I can tell, it looks to be about the same height as a stock Rubicon, so I’m hoping it’ll sit similar to what the OP has pictured.

With the willys lack of sway bar disconnect I would bet it doesn't rub even fully flexed. Even on a standard rubicon with the sway bar disconnected 315s just barely rub the fender liner. Now if he adds sway bar disconnects he'd likely rub.

Possibly with the KO2 315 as they are barely 33.5” actual size but they will definitely rub in the rear without at least a bumpstop extension
