How wide can I go, looking at 33’s or 34’s. I’m doing the tereflex 1.5 level only. Any picture pics of high altitude stock rims with bigger tires ?

Im in the exact same boat. Just picked up a 21 HA in BLack. Did my tint, and staring at passenger tires and a rake kill me.

I hear 285/60/20 is an option that's 33.5 x 11.5 fits the rim.

I am probably going to go for either Falken wild peaks (47lbs) or BFG KO2 (56) but in a smaller size. I want the size, but I have had E rated rubber on a JK and it sucks so much. SO I will do 275/60/20 which is 33" x 11". Nice tread, nice meat plus the terraflex pucks. I think it will net out.

ANYONE IN NORTH EAST WANT 4 BRIDGESTONE ALENZA HL IN 275/55/SR20 THAT HAVE 100MILES ON THEM? pm

I had the 1-1/2 tereflex level installed, looks great, I have about a 1/2 inch rake now. I’m looking at 295/60r20 tires to put on stock wheels. I like the the look of the factory 20’s

They fit? What about weight. Any way to find c or d? E is too heavy. It makes a huge difference.

So about this rake. You don't think that the 1.5 leveled it? I measured to fender and my delta was 1.5.

Very close to level, about 1/2” rake by my measurements. By eye, looks level. I’ve seen pictures of 295/60r20’s on 20x8 rims on other trucks, but yes, probably heavier also

E rated BFG KO2S 35 12.5 20s only weigh 66.9lbs that's pretty light even when comparing them to a lot 35 12.5 17's. I've ran them on quite a few different vehicles and the BFGs have never felt to heavy in a E rated tire. It's actually lighter than a lot of C rated tires in the same size on the market. Personally it's my go to tire, I'll never run anything but BFGs in a E rate, always got good miles and they feel solid under my JT as they did on my XJ, and JKU.

Hear that. I had them on my JKU in E. 285/75/17. Were amazing on stock rims with spacers.

This big thing doesn't need spacers and even prevent so from the x8 rim. Alas I went cooper at3 xlt cause I got them for 260 installed which is 130less per tire than bfg.

They copied BFG obviously and get insanely good reviews.

I'm going for the level and the tores Tuesday. I'll post up after. Share what you got man,the suspense is killing me. :)

I'm running my stock 17 steelies on mine, they are black and I fell in love with them. Personally I've never been a fan of 20's on a jeep, not to knock them, I definitely wouldn't go more than 20's, I'm just a fan of more tire less wheel, it just looks tougher to me and it does better for gripping when airing down to off road. Nothing at all wrong with 20's though if that's what you like.

My setup right now is 315 70 17 BFG KO2S E rated with 2.5" ReadyLift SST lift kit and I added Rubicon front Springs and Rubicon fox shocks. Mine has about a 1/4 inch of rake front to rear which I wanted to keep for towing purposes. Mines a Max tow as well. Heres some pics

I'm going 37 BFGs when these tires wear out, wish I would of did from the beginning but I'm not switching until I wear these out which will probably be some time in the next 18 months based on my driving habits. I'm 10 months into ownership and just turned over 17,000 miles and 16,800 of those was on the BFGs.

Do send some pics. I'm really interested in seeing the 295s
I’m still shopping tires, Jeep is stored for the winter. ?
