Let's see 'em - Larger tires on Sport S wheels

[DougalsMD]

Finally a sport NON MAX TOW with 35’s in stock wheels ... any rubbing? Install wheel spacers ?

This picture was before my lift, but yes I am using wheel spacers. No rubbing on road and only very minor rubbing offroad.

i have the Mopar lift but kind of wanted to use stock wheels. Seems with the narrow axles we get in the sport 6 speed, the 35s will rub. I am also considering 285/75r17. They are a half inch shorter (33.9 vs 34.4) but narrower and much lighter. Decisions, decisions.

You can really feel the added tire weight

I was going to get the 285/75R17 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT which weigh 57lbs each according to Tire Rack's site. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tire...SR7DAXLT&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

I just got the JKS J-Spec 3.5" lift on, but haven't had it out wheeling since due to the situation out there. I did want to point out though, the only rubbing I experienced offroad before the lift was due to up travel and very minor. There was never any rubbing turning lock to lock.

Good to know ... most guys have wide axles, and most of them have rubicons ... feel like a red headed step child

35x12.5r17 bfg KO2

Sport s with Max tow. Removed the winglets and no rubbing it wheels good too so far did some fun trails today in the snow bouncing over 14"-18" downed trees that blocked a trail.

Running 28psi so far.

I put 315/70 KO2s on the stock Sport wheels. I really like the look, but the shop that did the install claimed they had trouble balancing a few of the wheels because they were too narrow. They encouraged me to go to 8.5” or wider wheels soon. I’ve read plenty of posts of folks running 315/70s on 7.5” with no problems, though, so I’m going to stick with em for a bit. Adding the 1.5” front and .75” rear spacer lift next week.

Do you have before and after pics with the spacers installed?

Love seeing these blacked out stock wheels. Just picked up rattle-can supplies to do that same on mine.

285/70/17 Nitto Terra Grappler G2s mounted today on the stock wheel. A world of difference from the top picture.

Just got my 315/70/17 Falken Wildpeak ATs on my sport S wheels and the tire shop set my PSI to 43. What PSI are you guys running?
