does anyone know any websites to get great deals on tires? I will be upgrading to 35s after a 4" lift and would like to keep my Sahara 18" wheels.

discounttiredirect.com and dont forget if you keep your stock rims and go with 12.5 inch wide tires you will need spacers

 

great! thanks, I'll check it out. I've gotten mixed reviews about the spacers though, as it will be everyday driver and only for moderate offroading.

 

what do u mean mixed reviews? you WILL need them if you keep the stock rims or your tires will be rubbing the suspension when you try to turn. It has to do with the back spacing of the rims. Also plenty of people on here have been running the spacers for long time without problems.

 

Well, a few people have broken their wheel studs. But from what I have seen, its people with sahara wheels as they need the largest spacers to fit wider tires.


If you get spacers, be sure they are hub centric. These ones are less likely to break your wheel studs as the weight is being placed on the hub. Spydertrax are hub centric.

 

x2 on Spidertrax. They are top quality.

 

be sure to properly torque the spacers and wheels too

 

The few folks that have broken their wheels studs have nothing to do with the spacers. It has to do with over-tightening the lug nuts. That could happen without wheel spacers as well.

I don't understand your comment about people with Sahara wheels needing the largest spacers to fit wider tires? What does the diameter of the wheel have to do with the backspacing? Sahara folks need the same spacer as anyone else. The rubbing on the suspension and steering components has to do with the width of the tire, not the diameter of the wheel.

I agree with your Spidertrax comment. Excellent product.

 

I wish I'd known about the member discount from Discount Tire.
