Level 8 Guardian's - 17x8.5 5.48 BS with 285/70/17 Pathfinder A/T's. The BS is a little different than what most folks here suggest but it was recommended to me when I told Discount Tire Direct that I didn't want a lot of wheel/tire sticking out past the fenders. Very happy with the handling, ride (and look) so far; Peter.
Cheers!

Teraflex Levelling kit only (pucks, 2 x 1 inch front and 1 x inch rear). Everything else is stock except for a set of rear OEM swaybar links fitted to the front - the ones that used to come with the Teraflex Levelling kits fell to bits in a short order.

Too funny. I just ordered that leveling kit yesterday. I do want to keep my original Sahara wheels though. I'm currently looking for a set of larger tired (not too big) that will fit my jeep. I'm currently running 1.5" Spidertrax adapters so tire options are plenty.

I've tucked the Sahara wheels and tires away - they will go back on at trade-in time (it's nice not having TPMS).
Have fun with the leveling kit. Make sure you loosen your control arm bolts then re-torque them when the Jeep is back on the ground.

Mine's a 2007 so it has the original 18 inch painted Sahara rims that I actually think are a nice looking wheel. I looked at keeping the stock wheels but for the price of 5 x decent 18 inch tires and a set of spacers I was able to pick up a complete new set of 17 inch wheels, tires and lug nuts and completely change the look. 5 x wheels and tires delivered from DTD were under $1400 and that included mounting, road force balancing and replacement tire warranty.

This is what i did this week
After trimming the fenders and bumper a couple weeks ago...I thought I'd try my hand at contrasting all the green. So I Plasti dipped my grille flat black. I think it adds a nice contrast. Plus I think it looks slick with the black AEV rims I've got. My 2012 2DR gecko is slowly and surely coming along! 4.56s are next...but thats alot of cheddar.

I plastidipped my grille about two years ago and now it's starting to peel. I'm either gonna get it professionally painted or bedlined or go back to factory soon. Just so you know it's a great way to "try it before you buy it" kinda thing but plastidip is far from long-term.
