Default I need a guessitmate.

So I plan on installing a Rusty's 2" basic lift eventually. When I was looking at pricing on the site, I found I REALLY liked the look of the preview Jeep they have pictured beside the product information.

The Jeep is pictured here, along with the Rusty's lift:

http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=rustys&Product _Code=RK-200B-JK&Category_Code=JKKITS

Can anyone tell me what size tires (roundabouts 33" I'm guessing), wheels, and spacers the flame red JK has on it? I want to achieve this look as closely as possible.

I don't know if this breaks any forum laws posting this link or not, if it does, I'm sorry and I guess it will be removed.

I'm tempted to say that those are 35s Even though they list that the kit allows for clearance of 33s, i really think the pic is of 35s for two reasons, the first being that you can fit a 33 totally stock and that jeep has their 2" lift on it and it appears that there still isn't a whole ton of room between the fender and the tire. I personally drove home my jeep with 35s on it before i did the lift and i have to say that if i would have had a two inch lift on it, i think it would sit about exactly the way that red one does on their page.

I'm assuming 33's. Maybe it's the perspective, but those tires looked pretty stuffed up there for having a 2" lift. Others are doing 2.5 and getting 35's and they don't look anything like that.

i am thinking 33's as well. The rims look the same size as mine (16") but the sidewall is not the same size. Although the overall space between the tires and fenders is small...

Wow, thanks BaltChief.. I think that pretty much settles it. They appear to be 35's.

Or maybe the Jeep is there just to show a JK and really it only has 33's without a lift??

The flame red jeep definately has a lift on it, if you look at the rear lower control arm you will see its at an angle greater than that of stock. meaning its got a lift

I see...

Well I don't like the tactics they are using.. claiming to clear 33's then showing 35's.
