Im looking for any pics of JK's with 32's on them. I prefer aftermarket tires and rims but any will do. Im trying to decide if I want to lift and go with 33's or not lift and go with 32's. Thanks in advance!

Look at any stock Rubicon, they come with 32's

My Sahara has 32's stock also.

x2.
project-jk.com, and look at the stock pics of the Rubi's

Stock Rubi tires are really only 31" tall.

I have not taken a tape measure to mine to find out, but everything I have read to date, and the online tire calculators say the stock 255/75R17's spec out at slightly over 32” tall, a hair over 10” section width, and a bit 7.50” sidewall height

Discount tire’s site specs say a 255/75-17 is 32.06” Tall, 10.04” Section width, & 7.53” sidewall height.

BFGoodrich site for the stock Rubi tires specs them at 32.05” with a section width of 10.04" on a 7" wheel.

Goodyear specs the SRA’s on mine at 32.1” Tall, 10.0” Section width, & 7.0” sidewall height.

I suppose based on whatever temp/air pressure/rim width they use for there specs, actual results on the jeep will also vary.


If there is a discrepency in this i would like to know as i am using the factory numbers to partly base my decision on in picking out new treads. if their numbers are off, it may/may not effect my decision.

I have measured my BFG M/T's with a tape measurer at 35psi on flat ground, and they are exactly 31" tall. There is no way you could fill these tires up enough to make them 32" tall. I have no idea where they are getting their specs from but the tires on my stock rubi are not 32" tall. 32's would fit fine 33's would be pushing it without spacers.

Maybe they are measuring them off the vehicle? what does your spare measure?

just a guess, but that could be it.

I'm leaving work in a minute. I will measure it when i get home.

HappyCurmudgeon

Thanks!

I know an inch doesnt seem like alot, but it is. (dont anyone go there, we're talking tires here) It could be the difference between fitting or not, and at the cost of them, i cant afford a $1000 oops because they fudged the numbers somewhere.

I will measure mine after woork as well.


EDIT: uhm, that is not to say that i am at work :-|
it is to mean that later, after i am uhm. well i will measure them later.

most of us are at work, unless you get caught what are they going to do.
