JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default 305/65/17 (33x12.50x17)

I finally got to ditch the stock tires a few days ago. I thought I'd post these pics up in a new thread since I haven't seen too many people running this size. They're 33's...roughly the same height as 285's but wider. I'm very happy with the look & feel of these. I decided to go with the BFG's based on my past experience with them on my TJ & the fact that they came in a wider 33. I considered GY Duratracs but they didn't have anything between a 285 & a 315.

These pics are with a Teraflex leveling kit & 1.5" Spidertrax wheel spacers. Since taking the pics I've gone back & picked up the matching spare. My 11 yr old son is happy that I no longer have "wimpy tires"!

looks great!

thanks for the details, thats exactly what i want on my four door as well.

I have been looking at other AT, i have bfg MT right now and they are good off road, but on road they are a little noisy. How is the ride with these?

Any loss in fuel econ or have to adjust your speedo?

do you need a spacer to fit your spare on?

Thanks for the compliments everybody! The ride is great with these & so far they are quieter than the OE Goodyear SRA's that I took off. Not sure about gas mileage yet. I haven't burned a full tank since I put them on last week. The speedo seems to be pretty accurate according to my GPS.

I was worried about the wider tire fitting on the tailgate but it does...just barely. Any taller or wider & it would need a spacer.

Looks great but still retains the factory look which I like. JK's should have that size tire come standard instead of the stock pizza cutters that come on the X's.
