Bigger tire on ruby wheels
Hi guys. Question, my stock JK's are 17x7.5 and I want to go to 33x12.50x17 or 35's. How do the 7.5 wide rims ride with the 12.50 tires? Are they too narrow? Does it affect the tire wear at all? I like the stock rims and would like to keep them.
I'll be offroading more on sand than rock. I need a lot of tire footprint.
Thanks

I have 35x 12.5 on the stock moab wheels with KM2's and a 2.5 lift. The jeep rides the same as stock, just slower.. I air them down to around 30 PSI, so far wear is normal. You will need spacers though, and also a spare tire extension bracket.
I'm running 35x12.5x17 Pro Comp AT's on the stock Rubi wheel with a 2.5 coil lift and spacers. I haven't had any problems or rubbing, but I drive mostly on the beach and local logging roads (i.e. not rock crawling).
37s, 2.5" lift, flat fenders, stubby bumpers, trimmed off pinch seams in the rear.
I do need to add some spacers in the front though, as at full turn they rub the frame. Granted, I have aftermarket wheels. Even with the spacers on a stock Rubi rim, you may still catch the frame at full turn.
Oh, and as Goody stated, you will want to regear. I have 4.10s and it's livable, but not preferable.
