Andrew, It looks like you mounted the 35's to the original wheels, is that what you had done?

I feel like I have to add at least an inch to the width of the wheel to put on 35s.

As previously mentioned, you can run a 12.5 wide on a 7.5” wheel. The tire will just crown more and have more wear on the center tread blocks

I’ve got a good reference picture, same tire but on different width wheels. 10”, 9” and the stock 7.5”

Quick before and after. Day before I got it from the dealer, swapped my JL wheels on and now

Didn’t want to wait for RK rear springs and the mopar lift springs are dirt cheap so added them with the 3/4” day start spacer to regain my rake. Even with the weight of the warn 8274 the 3.5” rock krawler JL coils sat slightly nose high

Thanks so much what a perfect way of showing the differences for all of us. It's a total shock to me that the wider wheels seem to make the tire taller---is it just an optical illusion? I would have thought a narrower wheel would have a taller same tire. Is the 10 actually taller than the 9 which is taller than the 7.5?

Might just be the way you are looking at it, but the 10” is shorter than the 7.5
The 10” on the left compared to the table behind us lower than the top while the 7.5” is almost in the middle of the tops edge

Out of the 3 of us running these all dropping to about the same psi wheeling, 8-10psi, my buddy with the 10” is the only one to blow a bead. Low psi, the tire couldn’t hold on to the bead of the wide while crawling over a rock

New to the forum and new to the Jeep life in general. Picked her up last week and LOVE it!

Had it since April, work in progress.

Is it me or does the Sarge Green look different in almos every picture? I will admit I am a little color blind and mine looks brown most of the time but it does seem to color shift in different lighting.

I notice it too! The "color temperature" affects some colors more than others, such as Sarge Green and also Gater.

The lighting and environment effects the color temperature a lot, though I quite enjoy it.

Took this one yesterday morning. I thought it was a pretty good example of the different shades in different light. Pretty cool

It does, full sun is my favorite, but also an hour before sunset has a nice look too. The first time one of my coworkers saw it in the parking garage at work he goes "that looks great in black, good choice". I was like no it's green and then when we got to where we were going for lunch he couldn't believe the difference in color parked out in the sun.

I dunno. It just looks like dark olive/drab green to me.

In direct sun light it's less dark then in full shade.

That's how colors.

I think you guys are over thinking it.

 

[TheRealGinjaNinja]

Yea I really like Sarge green and how it changes. Here are three pics taken the same day.

Mini Sarge!

It's not quite that simple. All colors are absolutely affected by the color temperature and its spectral composition of the light being shined on them. Some colors are more affected than others with this based on what colors make up the viewed color. This is why if you pick a paint color out at the paint store and then take it home it can look a lot different once you get it on the walls because of the lighting differences in the store and at home. It's not just as simple as more light vs less light like often believed.

The reason for such color differences has to do with the spectral composition of the viewing light and the differing light reflection and absorption rates of the color being viewed. Simply put, if a light source lacks a certain color range or if this range is weaker, the viewed object can only reflect its colors within these limitations. Typically the more various tint colors that go into making the paint color, the more that color will be affected by this. Whites, greys, silvers, and blacks are usually very simple and have only a few different tints added to their bases. Reds, browns, greens, oranges, yellows, and blues typically are made up of many tint colors and that's why they would be most affected by the spectral composition of the lighting. Even between two reds or greens, the tints that make up the color can vary greatly along with the quantity of tint. This would be why one green would be affected under a street light and not another one.
