Awesome!! I hate trying to decipher tire sizes into layman's terms. Now I can figure out which DUBS that'll fit !! hahaha

The tires are in and will be on tomorrow!!!!

After the feedback from my post I'm guessing I will be wrenching the lift on this weekend, but who knows.

Either way I'll be sure to post some pics before and after.

BTW does anyone know the going rate for the stock jk tires and wheels,
I think I have got the 28s. I'm going to try to dump these on craislist asap

Thanks again for the great feedback!!!!

new shoes at last!!!!

I got my new tire wheel setup yesterday here are some before and after pics.

I don't think the lift will be going on after all. I might settle for a 1" body

there is plenty room and it looks so badass!

BIG improvement.

What's the set up? Size, Brand tires?

I like the "X" logo swap.

WOW is right, simply amazing how much of a difference a simple wheel swap can make.

That really looks nice!

I have heard alot about the "rake" from the factory. Mine has a slight one, i actually kind of like it that way, under power it levels out nicely.

This is really the first shot i have seen of a Jeep with it so pronounced. Now i understand what everyone was complaining about, it is really up there in the back.

Thanx for the sweet feedback!

these are 33x12.5 bf mts on 15x8 procomp 97s (3.75" backspacing)

There is no rub and no lift.

After I unload the stack tires I imagine this will be about a $600 mod!!!

Looks great.

I would at least throw the 1" body on, though. I'm sure the sheet metal is expensive at this point in th JK's production. Maybe I'm abnormal, but I have a really hard time keeping mine on the pavement & that's stock. If I was running those tires I'd have a hard time gettin g back on the pavement
