Keepin it mild BUT.... (more tire Qs)
I've decided after lengthy debate that I need to keep the JK a tad 'milder' than expected. Not only will the wife be dailying ours, but I'll also be towing with it. I also have 3.21s and don't plan on changing them anytime soon SO....
I've decided to go with a 265/75-QR16 Kuhmo MT KL71 (which should be about 32X10.50) on a 16X8 wheel. But I also want to add a touch of lift to it. I've been debating on wether or not 2" would look riciculous with only 32s!? I haven't seen anyone running 32s with a lift yet but if you do or know anyone who does >> tell me how it looks! Post a pic if you got one!! I'll also possibly be spacing the wheels out a tad (aftermarket offset +1" spacers) so it should still look pretty stuout.
So... anyone with pics ?? Maybe a lited Rubi on stockers??

Wayoflife was running 32's with his 2.5" lift until he got his 35's-- and I'll be running those very same 32" tires when I get my 2.5" lift installed and will probably keep it that way for a while until I can afford new wheels/tires (sometime in 2020
). I wouldn't be too concerned with the looks. However, I would be concerned with towing. IMO, a JK Unlimited with 3.21 gears, 2" of lift and larger than stock tires is going to be pretty sluggish once it's got a trailer hooked up to it.

For whatever it's worth, my opinion is that it's not too bad of a look... sure, there's some extra space in the wells, but that just adds to the "off-road capable" look, because of all the potential articulation room it's showcasing...
I was thining 1" MORE bodylift also. If that didn't do the trick, maybe some 3/4" spacers. The towing I'll be doing is very light (my car is less than 1500lbs) (seriously!) so I'm not TOO concerned about that but it just seems the less I put on there the better off I am (33X12.50 as opposed to 31.8X10.50) both in total drive ratio and weight. I just want a little altitude. I'm also going to run wheels with a nice offset and decent lip so that should make up for the fender room I'm hoping.
Thanks for the pic dooj.. that's about where I was thinking it was gonna be. I'll probably end up with a lil' less lift but in that general neighborhood.

Sweet... thanks mang. I like the look of that. Definately going to have to consider ESPECIALLY due to the price. As soon as the money tree blooms, I'm gettin the Kumho MT KL71s and hopefully something to put em on with a nice machined look along with a few sets of spacers.




I wanna see!!!! Lol
