Debating a small lift and some new tires. Would be keeping factory rubicon wheels.

Thinking something in a 33x10.50R17 or 34x10.50R17 so I can get some height without unnecessarily adding rolling resistance or the running concerns of a wider tire.

In terms of size, I'm talking about actual size, not advertised size. I'd like a rugged AT or less rugged MT.

Thoughts on tires in this size?

BFG KM2 in 255/80R17, they will fit on stock rubicon Wheel.

You can get. 255/80/17 which is a skinny 33. Closest for 34 will be a 285/75/17. They will be about 11.5" wide.

None of these are actual size mounted under vehicle weight. If you want a tire that actually measure 34" under weight and normal PSI then you are looking at a 35, if lucky it will measure 34" under the vehicle.

toyo open country at2 285/75-17 is that size and actual mounted on jeep height is 33" even. I love mine.

how much weight. I parked next to someone the other day that had them and they visually looked shorter then mine altho a little wider for some reason. mine was new style rim his was the old style rim.

I'm running the rugged ridges wheels with them. I believe the combo weighs in around 75 pounds. The wheels are 32 pounds so the tires are about 43 pounds, I think. As for for the vehicle weight I have have a 2dr with heavy bumpers and skids. I would say I'm a good 600 plus pounds over stock.

I used to have Bighorns in a 305/70/17. They were a great tire for me and they were priced well. Never had balance issues and sold them after about 40k miles.

Did any of you guys run wheel spacer with the larger tires on the stock wheels.
