I just had the painted Bushwacker Fender Flares put on my 4 Door Rubicon. I know I need wider tires. What does everyone recommend. I am NOT lifting it and I don't want them to be crazy big. I just want to get the 'smallest' wide tire possible, if that makes sense! Also, will I need to replace the wheels too?
Thanks, I know I am clueless!

 

Have you considered wheel spacers? This would give you a wider stance, but keep the same tires, and be cheaper than a set of wide tires.

 

Hmmmmm...would that change the 'ride' of the Jeep?

 

The ride will be the same. It will turn slightly differently due to being wider but it is minor.

 

It will increase your turning radius. It's not a bad solution if you just want your tires match up with the new fenders.

If you go a tire wider than ~10.5" and the stock rims you will need the spacers anyway.

 

Ok, so I think I will just go with the spacers for now. Another clueless question, which spacers? I see quadratec has some but I have no idea the difference among them.

 

When it comes to spacers spidertrax is the only brand you should consider.

 

Now I have a friend telling me that spacers losen and break.......if you have them, what do you think?

 

X2 i would suggest wheel spacers. or you can go with tires my size. 33x15

 

spacers work great but require regular matinence just like most aftermarket stuff. if you have the money a nice set of rims with 4.5 to 4 backspacing would be better for you. you can pick what ever rim size you want 15, 16, 17 etc... on the width i would go with 8 to 10 just depends on what tire width you want to run. 8 will be better offroad holding a bead with a tire up to 12.5 wide. if you want to go wider than that 9 or 10. the disadvantage with a narrower wheel would be that your tires can wear more in the center due to the ballooning. if you dont have the money spacers will work just find tho. just make sure you tourqe to specs and check them every so offten (like every 3k or 5k when you rotate).
