Interesting! Has some positives and negatives. Need to weigh them out! I've drilled holes in brand new boats for years. If you know what you are doing, no problem, no leak!
I had BFG KO 's many years ago, so could not compare. You do notice the bigger heavier tires. I went from a 33" x 11.5" to a 35" x 12.5", 63# to 75#. However, it is only for a few days and then the different feeling accelerating and stopping becomes the new normal if that makes sense. I was...
BT911 I run Nitto Ridge Grapplers on our JL and JT. I think they look aggressive and they are quiet on the highway. I am not sure about breaking the bank. Bigger tires are expensive. If you are not going too big, the price should be reasonable. When I was doing research on tires, I...
the -12 offset wheel will stick out a 1/2" more. Silverslayer has a 11.5" wide tire on a -12mm offset wheel. I have a 12mm offset wheel with a 12.5" tire. Here is the math on my situation: factory wheel 37mm offset with 11.5" tire: equal with edge of fender. New wheel 12mm offset with...
Ralph.......... it can be confusing. From your factory wheel, Rubicon has a 44mm offset and a Mojave has 37mm with a 7.5" wheel So if you choose a wheel with a smaller offset number, your wheel is going out. So a 12mm offset from a 44mm offset is moving your wheel out 32mm or an 1.25". So...
There are many threads that talk about offset. Get you a beer or two and just start reading. A lot of great information and a few will have an offset calculator. That will help you see what the new wheel/tire looks like compared to the factory. Just for reference, my wheels are 12mm offset...
I have a set of Mojave wheels and tires for sale. LT285 70 R17 (33") Wildpeak MT. 1800 miles. 5 tires and 4 Mojave black wheels with a metal rim on the spare. $800 Tires are mounted and balanced but no TPMS. I am willing to drive some to meet with buyer if interested.
I noticed it at first also but after a little time, the new performance becomes normal. I don't even think about it anymore. Give it some time and see how it goes!
I did not flex it. I did go over a few sand hills cut by the tide on the beach. It did flex some and no rubbing. I would guess if I hit the trail pretty hard, there would be some rubbing on the finders. I did go full lock to lock turning and no issue. I have no lift so just stock. The...
