Asked a million times I'm sure but...tire size question...

[mmatthie]

I have a '21 Sport S JT...I have take off Rubi suspension (shocks/springs) and currently running 33s.

From what I read, WITHOUT regearing, I can only go up to 35s with this setup. Is this correct?

I don't wheel/mud/climb...Gladys is only my daily driver.

Thanks everyone

Until you get the Rubi front fenders, you would need a lift, at least in front (or a leveling kit) to run 35s.

Thanks for responding...yeah those damn Rubi fenders (ordered in May) are now postponed until Nov 1st!

Am I right to say that regearing isn't needed up to 35s?

You don't need to regear. You might find that it doesn't use 8th gear a lot though. I'd wait to make sure you don't get the urge to go up to 37's before regearing anyways. Make sure to reprogram for the larger tire size. I used a Tazer on mine.

My preference would be to go to 37s but I thought I couldn't without a regear. So you're thinking as a daily driver I could go that large as long as I had clearance? Plan to do a leveling kit in the front and have the Rubi fenders on order.

You can run whatever tire size you want. Performance may suffer if you aren’t in the proper gear range, but you can do it.
