Overland 18” wheels and 33”, 35”, 37” tires?

[Trauma PA]

LOL! My boyfriend has been patient and encouraging. Worse yet he almost had me buying a 2016 Porsche Boxster Spyder. Go figure!

Anyhow, I got 18x9 Grid GD12 with 325/65R18 Nitto Terra Grappler G2s.

That should look really good.
Aren't you glad you didn't buy that Boxster?

I am hoping that they do.

As for the Boxster... My my bank account is certainly glad I didn’t. LOL!

Can you share a picture when you get them on?

Finally got my wheels and tires today, and got them on!

Anyone running 285 70 18 on an Overland with Rubicon shocks and springs?

Be careful there -
Shocks will make NO difference on clearance - they don't lift or support.
"Rubicon springs" could be any one of 2 or 3 possible spring combinations, perhaps more.
In other words, what number Rubicon springs and what number springs are on the Overland now?
If you put the lower number Rubicon springs on an Overland that has the higher number Overland springs you won't likely see a lot of difference in height, but if you have the softer or lower number Overland springs now and put the stiffest number Rubicon springs under it you could see an easy 1" difference.

I tried some 34.x" tires a tire shop had mounted on Rubicon wheels and both they, and I, were concerned about some rubbing with them on my Overland - they almost suggested I not buy those tires from them. It was close - street driving, normal conditions, they would have been ok, but rough roads and tight turns, we could both see a possible problem.

Can anyone who’s added 33”, 35”, and 37” tires to Overland 18” wheels please post photos AND the details on what lift mods you had to do to accommodate?

I had some rub at full lock with 35's, stock wheels, and the stock suspension. Ended up going with 1.75 spacers from SpiderTrax.

Can you post a link to the spacers you used? Also, how do you like the feel/drive of 35” KO2s?

KO2's work for what I do. I've run a bunch of different AT's and keep coming back to the BFG's.

I guess I'm just comfortable with how they feel and drive I know what to expect.


*edit*

I use red LocTite with the spacers make sure those lugs are good and tight.
