I have a Sport S, it came with the 245/75 r17. I initially upgraded to some 285/70 r17 (33”) BFGoodrich KO’s and liked the look but wanted to go bigger but not wider. I decided on 285/75 R18 (35”) Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac. Found some used 2019 Sahara 18” wheels cheap and had the new tires mounted. I really like the look of the large narrower tires. There is absolutely no rubbing although I did have to trim the plastic bumper to fender filler (real pain, overkill on the screws). I trimmed those and put them back in to cover fog light recess. The new tires are only 11.25” wide and don’t stick out beyond fenders. I have a 6 speed manual and actually find it feels better on the 35” verses 33”. But I plan on towing so a regear is in my future though.
I have included pics with factory, 33” and lastly 35”

Thoughts?

What gears do you have? I have 3.73 and was initially thinking about 285/70 but if I can go bigger without it really being an issue that would be awesome. How has 285/75 been treating you? I have a JT Sport with 3.73 gears. Thanks!

Looks great! I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Have you gone off road at all to check for any rubbing? I need to see if I need a lift

This is the photo I needed to see. THANK YOU. Can I ask what type of driving you normally do?
Daily driver - 21 miles each way for my work commute. Let me know if I can answer any other questions.

I put 35" on mine as well. I purchased a set of the Overland Wheels off Craigslist for $200. The sixteen-foot screws were crazy :)
