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.

No kidding, that can't hurt him I'm sure.

They look like huge balloons. Have you driven over any small cars yet?

Im right here with ya brother- I myself love the 13.50- 15.50 tire combos but was not sure about rubbing. My Superlift should be here next weekend and I still can't decide between a w..i..d..e 35" or go with a 37" to get the look I want. 35" are a big tire but they do NOT look it on the new JK.

I agree. The 35's do not look nearly as large as they use to. Although my 5th tire is in my garage and looks much bigger than when it's actually on the Jeep. I must admit that it does rub a little when you turn the wheel all the way. I need to figure out the best way to get that 5th tire mounted on the rear without having to buy a new bumber and tire carrier.

Keep all your body parts inside the jeep at all times, somehow the rocks comming off those tires always seem to find your elbows
OUCH!!!!!

Good luck with that. It's going to difficult, especially with wheels and tires that wide. Just curious, does it try to wander or follow the grooves in the road at all?

Blkrubi - it does follow grooves quite a bit but nothing too major. But it drives ridiculously smooth believe it or not. Fowlers over in Phenix City did an awesome job truing and balancing the tires. I can literally drive it with one finger no problem.
