2011 factory tires and wheels?
Hey everyone,
Been a while since I've popped in on the forum. Hope all is well with you and your rigs.
The family is growing, and I currently have the option to trade my 2011 2-DR Sahara for a 4-DR Sahara, same year, same everything, for a reasonable cost. My question is regarding the wheel / tire set up on the 4-door. The tires are pretty beefy - I don't know exactly what make or size - and the dealer claims they're mounted on factory parts with no lift installed. I notice it's sitting a couple of inches higher than my stock JK though, so I was wondering if anyone knows if this is true or if they're just BSing me. (A car salesman tell a lie? GASP!! lol) I'm only interested in knowing this because I do mostly highway and DD driving, and with these tires providing a loud and real boaty ride on the road, I'd potentially swap them out for a smaller set of tires if it's that simple to get me the feel I'm used to now.
Long story short... Does anyone know if Jeep offered a wheel & tire package like this from the factory for 2011 models? Or does it appear lifted?

Tires and wheels are completely aftermarket. As for lift, hard to tell for sure without knowing the size of the tires, but I am going to guess there is some kind of a lift on it. Maybe 1-2" lift. But without seeing photos of the suspension, hard to say for sure.
