What wheels are you putting on you JT?

[DamonC64]

Going to run the same wheels I have on my JKU.

With the 8" rims on a Rubicon, how wide, would you say, my tire section width can be, before it extends beyond the fenders..?

I couldn’t say for sure. Why don’t you check out the JL Forum? It’s basically a mirror image of this forum but for the JL Wrangler. You can check out what people have done on their Sport Wranglers and see exactly what it will look like.

Yep

Yep

Damn, those look sick, for the money.
sure there's probably nicer wheels that i'd like more, but you stole those.

They’re definitely not my favorite (AEV Borah +25 are), but given the cost and the specs, I couldn’t say no. Can’t wait to get them on with some new tread!

Gonna go with these Black Rhino Shrapnel in 18x9.5 (-12mm) on my Rubicon. Probably going to put Nitto Ridge Grappler 35x12.50 tires on them as this is what I have on my F-150 and they have served me well.

I’m leaning toward 37x12.50 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. The only thing that scares me is their weight. I have a set of KO2s on my current JK and like how they drive, but they aren’t quite aggressive enough, and they run small...

I’m doing some 17” dirty life dt1’s in grey... already sitting here at home just waiting for lift and tires.

Ditto - The Borah's are my 1st replacement item when the time is right !? HERE'S something I just saw while doing my usual 200 mile Radius Jeep Dealerships "Curiosity-Searches" -- the Missoula Montana Lithia dealer SHOWS a SPORT S with the RIMS / TIRES swapped . . . they have the JL Rubicon's on it -- best I can remember, THAT'S A NO NO ! ! ! IS there something I'm missing ? IF anyone cares to go to the website and download that photo -- Lithia.com/missoula, MT. !
So Me being Me, I call them up and inquired . . . the sales guy had "no clue" what I was even talking about - to him wheels are wheels ?
SO TO ANYONE WHO MAY NOT HAVE THE SENSE TO ASK "THE QUESTION" -- Do some research BEFORE you buy a wheel that may not be capable of the DT's base weight or the FULL load capacity / tow capacity !

Teaser. Still need to attach the red trim pieces and also the bolts. But pretty impressed. Love the tapered offset.

Sorry for the novice question....but can someone give me a quick summed up education on what offset or bolt pattern I should be looking for on rims...and what specs I need or info on 35 inch tires for my sport s....thank you!

I am running a 17x8.5 wheel with 0 offest and have 35 x12.50 tires. The bolt pattern is going to be 5 x 5 ( 5x127 mm). No clearance issues and the stance is awesome. This is on a sport s with max tow.I am not a wheel expert and just providing my input as to what works for me.
