I have a TF leveling kit on my 11 JKU Sahara. Just picked up a set of 18x9 wheels from a fellow member. I believe the back spacing is 3.5". I'll measure for sure.

Question 1
What is the biggest tire I can get away with? Planned on doing 35s before I found these. Was going to do lift wheels and tires at the same time. Could I run a 34 or 35 on this setup until I can lift it?

Question 2
With that being said, I'm looking at the Falken Wildpeaks. A local place has them in stock at 305/65/18. These would be 33? I believe these should fit. Anyone running this size? If so opinions and pics please.

Thinking about these for now and when it's time for new tires lift and 35s. Any input and opinions would be appreciated.

 

1. 35s should fit but if you go off road their little to no articulation w/ that
2. 305 is a 33" tire and they will deffinatly fit IMO I would run the 33s and I think it looks better and rides better on a stocker
Here is a pic. of when I had 32s on stock w/ a 2.5" lift to give you an Idea

Also, any reviews on the Falkens? How do people like them? What kind of miles out of them?

Thanks

Any other thoughts

 

I'm really surprised that more people don't have any info our opinions on this. Please chime in. Would love to hear some different points about max size and feedback on the Falkens. Pics of the 305s would be awesome.

Thanks

 

305/65R17 pictured with teraflex leveling kit. It DOES rub disconnected. Mine measure close to 32.5" mounted on the jeep. A 305/65R18 should measure 33.5" or so and will rub worse.

 

Well things have changed a bit. Got the wheels and measured back spacing. They measure 5.5". Will the 305s fit without any spacers? Wanted to avoid spacers with aftermarket wheels.

 

What back spacing are your wheels?

 

Bump. Any other input?

 

Interesting. I don't have any advice to offer because I haven't done any of this yet, but I am very interested in the TF levelling kit and the Falkens. My question is for you in regards to the TF kit: How did it affect your ride and Mpg's? I really want the levelling kit and the 33's, but my JK is also sees a lot of highway miles. I don't want to kill the highway mileage by putting in a kit that I could probably get by without. Any information would be much appreciated.
