Wheels?! Wheels?! Wheels?!

So what would you do if you wanted 37s on a manual rubicon? Would that pedal commander work?

I know the iDrive does. It has a setting you have to choose depending on your transmission. It plugs directly in-line with the pedal harness plug, and right on top of the gas pedal itself. It's a totally independent unit.

I almost went with 35”, but changed my mind at the last minute.

Good looking truck, and a good looking GSP pup in your avatar...I've wanted one liver & roan pattered/colored just like that for years!

Good call! Looks perfect!

Oh no no no, of course not... Remember, 20's look stupid on Jeeps... It's only good for mall-crawling and letting my woman drive to the hair salon.



Seriously though... Thanks man!

LOL LOL

I like more tire than rim. Went 17” wheels on 35s. To each their own.

Some fine looking machinery all 'round.

I went with the stock Overland rims and Falken Wildpeaks A/T 285/65/18. Total diameter is 32.6” and very close to stock. Installed a 1.5” Teraflex leveling kit in the front. This has leveled the truck with an 8” gap from tire to fender lip all around. Finished it off with a Skyjacker 9000 dual steering stabilizer setup which has reduced the wandering and need for constant steering input.

To help you, like most people have said...there are a ton of options but you just have to decide what you want your truck to look like and also what are you going to be doing with the truck. If it is a daily driver and you don’t off-road and like 20s, go for it. If you daily drive and like to wheel a little on the weekend like myself, go for 35s on stockers or find a wheel tire package you like. If you want tire sticking out, go negative offset, if you don’t want tire poke, go for a positive offset. It all boils down to what you want your truck to do and what you personally like aesthetically.

if you like ideas, I don’t like a lot of tire poke and do light wheeling so I chose to go 17” with a +30mm offset with Kenda 35x10.5. I played around here for a month:

before deciding what set up I wanted. It was good to see the difference from the factory set up to what new combo you want, how far out they will stick out and fill up the wheel well. Hope that helps and good luck searching. Keep us posted on what you decide!

Great looking setup. Is yours a Max Tow?

I'm happy with my 33's on 17's personally. Much like others have stated though, to each their own!

What offset did you go with on those rims? looks great.

Thanks! I'm happy with the look as well, they do stick out about 2 inches. I can grab some more pictures at different angles if you want. Let me know.

Mayhem Scout 8302. +0 offset, 4.75 backspacing.

That would be great as I am in the midst of deciding between a -12 and +1 offset also with 285 17s.

Thanks for the compliment. No max tow because I wanted a manual transmission. Next phase I plan on doing a dynatrac front and rear axle swap with ARB front and rear lockers and a upgraded clutch....then time for more power...leaning towards maybe a magnuson SC. But those phases are probably a year away. Can’t scare the wife too much with the money pit!

I'll take a few pictures this afternoon and get them uploaded for you.
