About wheels and tires
Hello everybody:
I want to mount Maxxis Bighorn tires in size 315/75 R16 on my JK. The equivalent would be 35X12'50 (34'6 diameter and 12'80 width).
Are Procomp 16X8 wheels, with 4.0 backspacing, enough for it?. Are these wheels enough wide for the tires?.
I've read a lot through the Forum, including all Faq questions, and I can't find an answer to this, so I hope someone may help me.
One more thing. Where to get a speedometer gear like the one shown down here, but for JK?. Because, as I may see the charts shown and pieces are not for JK.

try the ProCal
Don't know about the tires but as far as the speedo issue I think what you may need for the Jk is something more along these lines

"AEV's ProCal Module is a hand-held powerhouse! This essential tool provides JK owners an easy, low-cost way to make a variety of useful changes not offered by the dealer or any other re-programmer. Topping the list is the ability to correct the speedometer and gear ratio when larger tires are installed. With the speedometer left uncorrected, there is a major degradation in the performance of the stability control (ESP), transmission shifting, and engine performance.
The best part of the ProCal is that it isn’t just for correcting the speedometer. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System can now be recalibrated to better suit aftermarket tires without triggering the dash light. Further, the ProCal Module makes it possible to activate daytime running lamps, "one-touch" turn signals, enable a temporarily increased engine idle speed for winching, clear engine codes, and even has a feature to help align the vehicle perfectly for optimal ESP performance."
