Found signs of a little rub from 315/70R17 KO2's. Which, with 20K wear, now measure 34.4" tall mounted on the Jeep and adjusted for same with my Tazer.

Thanks, they’re the Quadratec retro CJ style wheels. I used to have a CJ7 Renegade with white wheels so I wanted to go for that vibe.
Did those balance out OK and roll smooth down the road? Last time I bought wheels from Q-tec they were so egg-shaped that you could literally watch them wobble as they spun on the axle.

Oh wow, sorry to hear. Mine are true and have no issues. The shop didn't have any trouble balancing them. I've taken numerous 6+ hour highway trips and there's no vibration or shimmy whatsoever.

what bumper is this? looks good. i like the matching tow loops. thanks.
Thanks, it's the Rugged Ridge Arcus. I wanted a factory steel stubby bumper but they were really hard to locate and pricey when I could find one. This was close enough so I just ordered orange shackles to stick with the Mojave theme.

How are you liking the Kenda's? im debating getting the 37's
I don't have a bad thing to say about them thus far. They balanced good. Wet traction (I'm in Florida) has been excellent. Off Road traction when aired down has been on par with anything else out there.

Being a 10.5 wide tire has prevented rocks flying out of the tread onto the side of the Jeep. So far I haven't any paint chips on the hinges and I am more than happy with not having to deal with that. About 9K on them.

what bumper is that????
I don't know. Found it at a warehouse sale still in the box from Amazon. I think it said EAG. I will say the welds look good, powder coating has held up, no rust. Seems to be well made and has taken a good hit already with no damage.

Looks like most of these Jeeps are either Rubicon or Mojave. Could I fit 35/12.50/17 on a Sport S Max Tow with no changes except removing the air dams?

Looks great! Would the stock lugs have fit in those openings?
Thanks for posting. I have a Sport on its way soon. I've been trying to find a good representative pic of what mine would be with 35s and Max Tow. I'm adding a leveling kit but that's all. Nice rig. Almost went with those rims too.

Anyone running 35s with no lift on stock wheels with wheel spacers?

Sorry, not sure how I missed this reply.
I don’t think the stock lugs would fit. I remember looking at the lugs that came with the rims and noticing how much smaller they were than the OEM lugs. I may have also tried the stock ones but didn’t fit.
