I think the guy is talking about 28" over all ( tires and wheels assembled ).

Have you measured the "Stock" 225/70r16's?

can't someone just have a convertible SUV because its just that?

I love it when people post these kinds of questions. shows how close minded and opinionated this forum gets
He already said he has a Bone stock Rubicon with 32inch BFGs . So no not a 2wd

If you put 28 wheels on it jeep it will make for a horrible ride. Not just because of the low profile tires, but because sitting on your dick while it is tucked between your legs hurts.
anyone else notice the OP was a soldier too? don't hate on him, maybe the hummers are on 28s in the army

They are 22" wheels and 28" is the total diameter with the tire (measured with a tape measure). I ended up not getting them since I'm not really a fan of the big wheel skinny tire look on SUVs. I was only considering them because they were so cheap $800 for wheels and almost new tires(90% tread). Im moving in 2 months and my MTs r almost done, was planning on using the new rims and tires for making the drive from Louisiana to Washington and selling them when i made it to Washington State. Just was wondering if having a heavy wheel like that would damage anything on a jeep. After reading the comments about how much some 35" tires and wheels wieght I don't think the wheels and tires would do much to the jeep.

As for all the comments, no harm done people in the armed forces know pretty much from day 1 you got a drill SGT talking shit to you, and your closest friends in your unit are the ones that give you the most shit especially after a deployment.

Army HMMWVs are not as capable as jeeps when I was stationed in Germany my friend took his 2007 2 dr X with 33" MTs on it places where our HMMWVs got stuck and yes they do have A/C because it gets to 130 degrees out side in Iraq some times but I was a gunner on a MRAP when I was deployed so A/C didn't do anything for me.

Ya but they have a different type of armor too.

Only certain models have armor on them that's why we called them Heavy Chevys while I was deployed. Our HMMWVs in garrison are soft top and cloth doors and don't even have skid plates on the bottom. They are cool looking though I would not mind buying a surplus one, but I definently like driving my Jeep better, never realized how much females love jeeps.
