Hi all!
I've tried searching, but I'm not getting what I need.
Anyone have a link or chart of the weights of the rims? Specifically in 17" for the LEVEL 8 rims?
I have 2012 JKU, Auto, 3.21 - I'm very concerned of the weight. I'm currently on stock steelies 16" - so gross. LOL
I'm looking to go 35" and 17" aluminum rim. This is going to be straight Mall crawling - not really going off-road. Just want the best highway driving tires in 35" size.
Thanks all!

Hey DTD -
I have a 2011 Rubicon, not planning to lift it. I did the fender flare mod, so the fenders are out of the way.
I was looking at getting a quote for a wheel/tire package from you guys.
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO, 33-1250R-15C2 108R W x 5
Cragar Black Soft 8, 15X8 5-5 -13B x 5
I already have spidertrax spacers on my current set up.
Thanks for your help.

Tie Rods
Thanks for the great customer service, ordered this past Thursday and hopefully coming in tomorrow. Ended up with 15x8 Level 8 Trackers and 35 KM2s. Great prices also, have been shopping from yall for a long time and always impress me.
I need to replace my Tie Rod, Drag Link, and SS, my question is...
Is anyone running this set-up with Synergy Tie Rod and Drag Link. I know it is close but I heard they put new TRE's and they dont fit now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Pics soon to come!!!

I can't confirm whether or not the Synergy TREs work since we haven't fit them but from what I understand the 2nd generation housing is larger and won't work with 15" wheels.

Well this isn't entirely true, I have been scanning this thread because I'm interested in moving from my steel wheels to an alloy wheel. I have been running the pro comp series 97 with 3.75 bs in the 15" wheel on my 2010 and it fit perfect, cleared the calipers with no grinding or additional spacers. My problem, Rust! The steel wheels didn't hold up for long before they almost completely rusted through the paint. This has been a great thread so far I look forward to continuing the read!
