You'll probably want 1.5" spacers, just to be safe, plus if you go with bigger tires later, you will not have to worry about backspacing then.

texaschopper has one of the best looking JK's on this forum (IMO) and he's on 18's w/ the new Kumho mud tires (available on TireRack.com)



I freakin LOVE that look!!! Mine won't be going that route but that's definately a nice looking setup.

Txs Chopper has 35's on stock 18's. 33's on stock 18's will work as well, you will need at least a 1" wheel spacer. Here is mine with 35's on stock 18's. A wider wheel is 'reccomended' by most tire manufactures but will fit fine on stock.

Here's mine with 35's on stock 18's with 1" Teraflex spacers:

Here are the options on BFG's AT's and Coop STT's. I have ran the BFG's and the Coops are more quiet than the BFG's and a much better tire in my opinion. Have run allot of different AT's and MT's and the Coop's are the best tire I have ran out of MT's and AT's. I was very hesitant at first, but very happy w/ my decision. Good luck with yours!

Same here Deez. I like the look of those tires. They actually would have cost me more than my Nitto's in the 18's though.
