Well most of my miles are also highway. It may just be in my head but it does seem like I've lost a mpg or 2. My thinking is that changing the rake affected aerodynamics a bit. Not that my box shaped Jeep was aerodynamic to begin with. Worried how much worse it would get with 33s or even 35s.

 

I would like to knew if anyone is running anything bigger than a 33 with this kit. If so, flat fenders, spacers, rubbing issues?

 

Anyone know if I can run the 305s with that back spacing?

 

Thanks for the reply. I can live with 1 or 2 mpg less as far as $$ are concerned, but cutting my fuel range down isn't good. Wider tires won't help the mileage. I don't think going from 32" to 33" will affect it. I guess for the price I'll install the Levelling kit and see what happens. It can always come out if it reduces the driving range too much.

 

Bump. Any other thoughts?

 

I believe they are 4.5". Rugged ridge 17x9

 

Still looking for info and thoughts. Would a 1" body lift help with 35s?

 

1" body would certainly help. I think it may still rub offroad without increasing bumpstops or going to a flat flare.

From reading, 4.5" of total back spacing is recommended for tires that are 12" wide or wider.
