Hey everyone. Looking to replace my stock Sport S tires with a set of tall and skinnies. This Gladiator is my 12th Jeep and I'm no longer a fan of the tires sticking out past my fender flares.

I'm specifically looking at 255 80 17s which roughly equals about 33" tall and 10" wide. I'm also considering the 34 x 10.5 17s as well.

Any photos of either setup is much appreciated!

I was wanting to stay with a skinnier tire as well. I ended up with 35x11.5 Nitto Trail Grapplers on stock rims and 2” lift.

The JL is on 37x12.5 Patagonias on Method wheels.

Not the size you requested but a good comparison and inside the fenders.

Kenda has a 35x10.50r17 available. I’m considering that for my spare.
Exactly what I did...in fact it's at the shop getting swapped onto my spare rim now.

I run the Kenda pizza cutter too. I really like them. Road noise isn't bad and they do great in the snow. I just got a second set that I put studs in but I haven't mounted yet. The only real negative I've found is that they throw rocks really hard when I get off the gravel and on the highway.

Can you grab an actual diameter measurement of the tire mounted on the spare?
I can when I get it back. Dropped it at my local guy and told him I was in no rush. Probably get it back this week.

Can I see a side shot? I'm considering skinny 34s or 35s when I replace my factory 33s.

And they measure right at 34 inches high mounted on stock rims. As you can see the Weathertech mud flaps don't do a lot as far as keeping the vehicle clean.

I just went out with a tape measure and the stock rubicon MTs are only 10.5in wide and actually closer to 8.5in wide if you just measure the treat width. The tread cuts back in on the shoulders of the tire.285/70/17s
