stagecoach, thats funny, Ive never likened it to that before. They didnt look too terribly big though. I suppose because theyre black may be why, but the looked pretty decent. The sidewall wasnt as small as i wouldve expected for a 22. I guess im gonna have to get them mounted and see what they look like....

i didnt see the size, it was just a brief discussion on them. he said they were 33's. I can imagine this not being too terribly of a popular idea with the serious off roaders. its just an idea im tossing around. I guess most importantly i should ask if you guys think i could expect any mechanical/drivetrain problems from running that size of a wheel.

Only mechanical issues I can think off is that your seats will prolly stick in the recline position and the jk will have a pronounced gangsta lean and possibly a hobble. Tailpipe may drag too.
