I'm looking at the duratracs, also with the USAA discount. I just put duratracs on my wife's JL and they are quiet -- i mean, no noise whatsoever.
Are you going to use the OEM wheels at 17x7.5? I see on this forum that hundreds have done it. I'm just concerned finding someone by me who will mount them fore on my Mojave wheels as the specs recommend using at least an 8.5 inch rim?
My plan is to get new wheels, probably the quadratec replicas because they look nice, inexpensive, nice offset, and are wide enough for 12.5s. I'm not a tire expert and I've seen many mount 12.5s on oem wheels but I don't like the ballooned out look and would not want to risk abnormal tire wear when spending that much money.
I was thinking about changing my wheels, but went with the Nitto Ridge Grappler 35 11.5 tires on the factory wheels just to keep the pooch down. I also added a 2" lift on my Willys just to level the rake out. I love the way it looks now and it is much more quite.
Can you show some pictures?
That's not scrub marks on the wheels, that's soap where they were put on. I don't have a wide view yet.
Kind of hard to see in the bright sunlight but they fill up the fenders quite nicely.That's not scrub marks on the wheels, that's soap where they were put on. I don't have a wide view yet.
That is a nice look. I've been on the fence with getting silver or gunmetal wheels because the black does just get lost.Kind of hard to see in the bright sunlight but they fill up the fenders quite nicely.
With my JT being all white I like the black wheels. If it was silver like yours I'd probably paint them to match. The small lift and 35's feel perfect for what I needed. I'll put a couple of hundred miles on it tomorrow and get them more broken in. I will say these tires ride way better than the mud type that came on it and are really quite so far.

What bumper is that? I want one that protect my Punkin Orange fenders. It kinda looks like a Rampage.No regear on mine and running 37 12.5 17 Yokohama Geolanders X-ATand I still see 8th and over 17 mpg in mine around 18 to 18.5 on longer trips. About 3-1/4 inches of lift with the Readylift SST 2.5 lift kit and Rubicon takeoffs installed. I went 315 70 17 KO2 second day of owner ship And 15,000 miles in 37's went on. I should of done it from the beginning. This is mine with the Kanati trail hog AT-4 37 12.5 17 on it. I would of went back with those tires but got the Geolanders for $1087 shipped to the house from Walmart back I'm February .Couldn't pass that deal up.
It's a rugged Ridge full width
