I ran just spacers for awhile before a 2" lift. All was good, never issues but i am mostly on road and sand. Never a problem. As far as speedometer, when calculating it I show 55 and really going 56.1 mph but based on gps I am going 56.4. No biggie. Good luck -FD

that's prior to any lift or spacers...just added tires on the wheels.
Looks great - I know I will regret this but I ordered 275 65 18 duratrac as it is the same size on the calculator 32 inch as the stock 255 70 18

I installed the 275/65/18 Duratrac with a 1.25" Teraflex spacer

Love the look no lift yet
But considering the 1.5" Teraflex leveling kit

How do I flip my pics so my jeep is on the road

Have fun

I already think the right size is 295 70 18
With spacers and a small lift

Possibly. I can tell you that the wider tires of the 295 aid in floating on the sand herein Long Island. Downside is they also float on the snow and don't always get to the road like my 275. That's why I chose the 275. May go to 35s next. Not sure. Are we ever sure? One big game.

Still in port.

Never thought of the issues of floating on snow -- you made me feel even better with my choice now

Happy new year
