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.

the rims are 15X8 with a 4" Back space and a 1/4" spacer to make it 3.75" BS but I think I am going to just grind the caliper so I can take out the spacers and the tires dont stick out so much

I have to cut the rock rails in the back still but I love how it looks now

I love getting new tires. It can make an old vehicle look new again. I'm saving for 37"s but don't need tires. I've had mine for 2 years and as little as I drive, they will probably last another 2 years.

The wheels and tires look great. I hope you're not running these spacers:

These spacers are dangerous to run long-term. They stress the wheel bolts since the lugnuts don't thread all the way down. You run the risk of snapping them off or losing lugnuts and causing some serious damage. If you drive slowly back home from the tire shop with them on, it's fine, just make sure to get quality wheel spacers like the ones from Teraflex or Spidertrax - but those will be 1.25" - 1.5" minimum.

Good luck.
