Hey guys, I need some help. I'm interested in getting some offloading tires for my jeep. I have a picture of the tires I like, but I don't know the numbers. I was hoping that someone on here could guesstimate what size tires are these....

17 x 9 rims, tires ??? (235/40/17's) maybe???

Anyone got a clue?

If those are 17" wheels, then those look like 35s

Quick question Jersey-Devil..? You had 37" tires on your old Sahara. What kind of lift did you have on? I noticed that you were using the stock spare mount. Any problems with the added weight & size..? Did you have to modify anything in the rear to support that size tire..?
