I've got the 1.5 inch Spidertrax spacers already. I was debating between the 255/80/17s and the 285/70/17s. Now I'm considering the 295/70/17s as well. No lift, yet... might do a 2" in the future. No plans to regear. I've got a 2011 3.8 auto JKU with 3.73s. I'm one of the guys that has no complaints about the power of the 3.8...

I like them a lot, I am able to use overdrive again, I took off my lift and 35's to try to get a little more fuel mileage. These tires are only an inch shorter, but 2.5 inches narrower and 20 pounds lighter, something to think about.

I'm putting a set of 255/80/17 KM2's on AEV Pintler Argent Gray wheels for my 09 2dr Black Rubi next week as soon as they get here. I like the, pizza cutter, tall and skinny look. My rubi is stock right now but I ordered the 2in AEV spacer lift with my wheels and that will get me by till there 2.5 kit comes out later this year. This tire/wheel combo should look really good on my black 2dr Rubi. Atleast I hope it does.
