Smile help choosing wheels and tires

hi guys, my name is Linndsey :toung: . I own a 2007 black sahara. i want to upgrade to bigger wheels and tires and do not want a lift.

i was thinking of getting an American Racing Mojave Teflon 17x8 (4.5 backspacing)

with Pro Comp Extreme All Terrain (305/65/17)

I do not do much offroading except the beach and if i do go it is rarely extreme.

i was wondering if this is a good wheel and tire combination

and secondly, if it will cause rubbing for mild offroading.

Lastly, i was wondering if i would also have to buy a new jack for this.

Also, if anyone has pictures of the mojave teflon 17s with 33s plssssssssssss Post pictures

Thank you in advance guys

You should be ok (no rubbing) with that tire size as long as you get wheels with 5" or less of backspacing.

No, your jack should be fine, you are only going up about 1/2 an inch.

I have heard good things about the ProComps. Not sure about the Mojaves, haven't seen any feedback from owners.

I talked to a guy at the tire shop who warned me about teflon wheels. He said they scratch really easily, just like teflon cooking pans. Just thought I would pass it along.
