I am putting a Teraflex 3" lift and a 1.25" rc body lift on my 07 Sahara. I am getting 1.5" wheel spacers and want to use my stock 18" rims.... I don't know what width they are?? I have seen guys putting 12.50 wide tires, can I go with 13.50 ???

 

Thanks for the advice! Yes, after doing some research I see the stock wheels are only 7.5" wide! I think I'll opt for new wheels. Also, after researching, it seems that going 37's over 35's may put a lot more stress on my axles and such. Now I'm thinking just 2.5" bb lift with the 1.25" bl and then getting aftermarket wheels and 35's. But, I absolutely love the look of 37's !!

 

depending on the 37's, they only weigh 2lbs more than 35's.

 

Roger that. My 35" Nitto Trail Grapplers weigh 79lbs and 37" Goodyear MTR/Ks weigh 74lbs.

 

Do you have pics of your jeep? I'd love to see what it looks like! So you have no regrets power wise or anything by going with 37's ?

 

Nah, no regrets. didn't even look back.

I didn't feel much of a power loss going from 35's to 37's

I had to do a lot of trimming on my pinch seam and my rock steps.

 

on another detail.

my 37's measured out to be somewhere close to 34.8 or something @ 35 PSI

 

I wouldn't recommend 12.5 or 13.5 width of the OEM wheels. They aren't wide enough. I also wouldn't recommend spacers. You are way better off getting 17" wheels that have the proper back spacing. It is better to have the wheel with proper spacing built in. One less failure point.....

 

Spydertrax spacers are actually stronger then the wheel itself...

Unless you forget to torque them, definitly not going to be a failure point.

 

Wow... I would be pissed.
