I have a 2011 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara I just got a few months ago. I am going to do the Teraflex leveling kit on it and a set of 18x9 American Racing Artilleries. I initially decided on 275-70/18 Goodyear Duratracs since they are slightly over 33" tall. Now after looking at Teraflex kits at Quadratec threy are saying a 305/65-18 will fit. I started 2nd guessing the 275 thinking they would look small on a 9 inch rim. I searched a ton on here and saw a lot of factory Sahara wheels with 33x12.50-18s and a lot with 17s. What is everyone elses opinion of this? Does anybody have pictures of 305/65-18s on a leveling kit? I am not deadset on Duratracs but I have them on my Diesel and really like them. Toyo Open Country Mud Terrains would be my next choice. This Jeep only sees offroad if we drive it across our fields! Nothing extreme. Thanks for any help

 

The problem you will run in to is that while they may not rub on-road, they very well could when you are flexed offroad. If you choose to go taller and plan on offroading it, you might also consider adding more bumpstop, or a body lift, or look into chopping your flares or going to flats.

17 or 18 makes no difference at all --> assuming you have the correct backspace and the price difference for the tires doesn't bother you.


My personal opinion would be to chop your flares and go with 35's or 315/75's.
