Anybody running tires that are 35 or 37 x 13.5 or 14.5.....I like how the wider tire looks....and im wanting to go bigger as soon as the tires I.have wear out.....pics?? And how well did they perform?

 

37x13.5. Drives well. No complaints. The smaller tire is my stock rubi.

 

Do you get any rubbing? Lift specs? Linger bumpstops thank normal for the lift? Lots of trimming? did you change your steering stops?

Sorry so many questions...just curious of 37's cause its the level I am going to someday...

 

The looks of a 35x14.5 would have an almost square aspect to them.

On the note of looks, if thats all youre going for, then a wider tire will work just fine. On the performance side of the house a wider tire will tend to push and float on top of surfaces such as snow, mud, sand and water preventing you from digging and finding traction.

I would personally reccomend the 12.50 if you want thirty fives, or a 13.50 if you want thirty sevens. I tend to judge a jeep on its capabilities, and not its looks. So it depends on what your personal preferences are.

As stated before, you may also run into rubbing problems with the wider tires.

 

im running 35x12.50 r17 right now and trimming fenders soon so not too worried bout the rubbing....and im worried about performance and looks both.....not point in having stuff you dont like on there there that dosent perform well lol...and another way i look at is either way if you have an agressive tread tire its gonna ride rough either way,,,,but i get what your saying about floating on the surface.....looks and versatility are both big factors....but i still have a while left on these tires but i see 37s in my future lol .....i really do appreciate everybodys opinions

 

your jeep is bad ass btw

 

AEV 4.5", PA 1" BL, pro comp 7069s 17x9 w/4.5" bs. Trimmed rear pinch seam and rails. AEV comes with new bump stops. I have rubbing on my front LCAs at full turn, will be going to teraflex front arms eventually. Stock fenders, will probably trim and go to 40s when the tires need replaced. Good setup for a DD, needs a few more tweaks to be really nice. Better and quieter ride than stock.

 

Thanks. It's an addiction.

 

dude it really is....i drive my fiance nuts lol
