Not how I wanted it. Buyer for my 35's backed out because he'd soon have to buy tires with 70% tread life left. but, I already had the new wheels and tires ordered.

I really dig it and I can't wait for this weekend at Jeeptobertest to break them in.

Old setup was 18" Black Rhino Sidewinders with 35x12.50x18 Trail Grapplers. New setup is gunmetal 17" Fuel Trophy's with 37x13.50x17 Toyo Open Country M/Ts.

Added Teraflex bump stop extensions so I have ~4" on a Rubicon Express 3.5" lift. May need to trim the front of the rear inner bushwhacker fender near the pinch seam as it rubbed a smidge on the highway in a dip.

Only one pic for now because it rained then got dark.

 

Looks good... you may need wheel spacers for those wheels...

 

I'm running a similar setup and had to do the same trimming.

 

Thanks. I was curious about that. I've had them on my factory wheels. These have a 4.5 BS. I'll get more pics to get some pointers. Lock to lock fronts aren't rubbing but that small but in the rear is :(

 

What about the wheels? Did you run spacers? Any pics of how much you trimmed?

 

My wheels are 4.75" backspacing I have a 1.5" spacer, it rubbed badly on the RK lower arms before I added the spacers. I'll get some pics by Thurs with the latest trimming, I actually did a bit more today so it may be overkill but it was rubbing too much before.


edit: I don't have quite as much lift as you though, I am at about 3.5"

 

Cool. Thanks. I just don't want to stress the axle even though it's trussed and gusseted. I only drove it ~45 mins in traffic. We will see what tomorrow brings.

 

Jeep looks great btw, I like that color combo with the finish on the wheels

 

Wow you still got room for 40s even with the RE 3.5 lift..,pretty impressed.

 

Looks bad ass! Nice work!
