So I'm jumping the gun a little. Doing everything online and the dealership I'm buying from is in a tiny town and they were having a bit of a hard time using my already procured financing and don't have DocuSign so I'm waiting for the overnight package (mailing out tomorrow, I'm dying over here) to physically sign, ink to paper.... but I'm excited and I want to have everything ready to go! I've wanted a Jeep for years (have had 2 GCs loved them but decided it was time for a "real" Jeep- no insult intended) so now it's time to make the fun California sun worth my while and earn some cool mom points with my 15 year old while I'm at it!!
I got the Overland, great price, phenomenal price BUT I love the look of beefy tires and a lift so I ordered the 2' mopar lift with FOX shocks and it is being installed before I pick up the Jeep. It will be my daily driver, so I didn't want to go too big or too bold but I like fun too and we do go fishing, shooting, camping, tailgating...so I'm staying "reasonable" and want to do 35" tires...
So here's to the real questions:
How do I know what size wheel and tire to buy?
How do I determine that width tire a particular wheel can accommodate? I keep seeing 12.5 with 35" is that a must have width?
Does the 17" or 18" or 20" affect anything other than look? I like the look of the 17" with the 35" tire but as much as I want the "look" I want safety and integrity too??!
Ok I guess you can tell I'm super excited...cause I'm rambling...
Any help, or suggestions are appreciated and I even understand if at this point y'all are thinking "damn girl you're dumb" but you can keep that part to yourself lol!!
