JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default My new wheels and tires!

After months of reading, reviewing thousands of photos, asking tons of questions(many thanks to Wolf)....finally pulled the trigger on new wheels and tires! I also put in a TF levelling kit and man, I couldn't be happier.

I wanted 35's badly but had to come to a practical decision and go with 33's...the main factors that tipped the scale to 33's were that my wife and baby need to be able to get in, didn't want to spend $$$ on regearing/tire carrier/and other mods to properly run 35s, and this is a DD and will barely see any trails etc.

Went with 305/70/16 Duratracs on MB72 wheels. Honestly, the E rated tire is perfectly fine. I read stories about them being harsh and I don't notice much difference, but everyone is different.

Many thanks to DTD

Before...


After...I know I know, chrome grill but I like the contrast for now.

Right on !!! Looks great!
I am in the same boat you were in.
I have it narrowed down to the TF leveling kit, 33's and black rims.
Still stuck between 16" or 17" wheels
