Just purchased the same rims and debating tire size now. Was thinking of going 285/75/17 falkens or bfgoodrich. Not entirely sure in that size for a sport s with 3.73 gears

I have the 4.10s with the Max tow package and there is not much more room for a taller size. Still peppy and responsive with the 285 (33”) size

Rebel Off-road installed 37’s on their stock Overland as a first step in their build without a lift and still running 3.73. They even took it off road, being the rebels that they are. Scroll down to post #13 in the following thread:

Thanks. Guess the equivalent of 34’s would be ok

I’m on 37s with 3.73. It’s not bad at all. No lift either. Just some rims with offset. No rub on road

How’s your acceleration and uphill ?

Probably “better than stock!”

 

[Geekjeep]

I have no complaints but no real hills or elevation where I live. I’m at sea level.

Ok, cool

 

[PyrPatriot]

Ok, cool

It was sarcasm at all the folks on FB/forums who claim they get better handling, acceleration, and mpgs than stock configuration. Not directed at anyone here (yet )

 

[Geekjeep]

Nah you feel the weight. It’s just not like a horrible change. Keep in mind the 37s are only a few more pounds than the 35s. I noticed a bigger change stock to 35 vs 35 to 37.
