Let's see your 285/75 17 tires

[sceraul]

Thanks! I tried hard to find my ideal perfect combo. I didn't want to go with a lift larger than 3" or move up to a 35"/E rated tire. This was the right balance for me and should do everything I need it to do.

There should be more pics in my build thread if you want different angles.

Wanted to share an image of my set up in response to the exchange we had earlier. Thanks for the info. The shop still thinks my tires/wheels will get lost in the wheel well of i go with a 2 inch lift due to the flat fenders. Interested in what you all think.

Best tires I’ve ever ran in snow, they hook up very well. I live in upstate NY and we get pounded in winter time.

285/75/17 Nitto Ridge Grappler on Quadra Tech Morphic 17x8.5 wheels with +10 offset. 35"'s would fit no problem.

Right now it has a Terra Flex 1.5 Level but after the winch and bumper install I want heavier weight springs up front and more lift. I am changing over to a Rubicon Diesel take off suspension in the next two weeks along with the Terra Flex that should make it sit just right. I may only put the 1" spacer in. Most people have gotten a little over an inch lift from the take off suspension alone.

Did you ever install that diesel rubicon suspension?

Yes. It worked perfectly. I sold the gladiator back in Feb 2022. Went back to a Tacoma TRD Off Road. I enjoyed the Gladiator but really missed my Yota. Just better overall truck especially for road trips.

Looks good as is.

Agree... I wouldn't change ride height with those tires and flat fenders.

Hey, how's it going? Nice looking rig. I just picked up a Willys Gladiator after my JK of ten years, with tons of mods, was totaled by a distracted driver. So far I'm loving the JT. I plan on installing the Terraflex leveling kit this week. It didn't come with rear spacers. I'm wondering why you added them to your rig. Thanks for your reply.

John Jeep 67, I added the TeraFlex 1.5 leveling kit today and brought my front to within 1/4" of the back of my truck. I think it will be fine with the 285/75r17's without a spacer in the back.

Which leveling kit you use, or is 2inch lift?

 

[MemphisMississipp]

Stock Sport S with 285 JTR takeoffs.

Falken Wildpeaks with a -6 offset on my Sport S, no lift. Real happy with this size. What an upgrade from the lovely Sport wheels!

what size tires?

It’s personal preference - some people want to keep the rake up front. Whether it’s cosmetic or for towing/hauling, having a front rake decreases the impact of a heavy load.
