Hi!

I want to install a 2.5 Teraflex BB with the 9550 shocks on my 07 Sahara Unlimited 4X4. With that I would like to run 17x8 wheels with 35x 12.50 tires. What is the difference in looks between 17x8 and 17x9 wheels? I was wondering if anyone has that setup and if they are happy... Pics please..? How bad does the gas milage get? Do you have to modify the gears when you run 35's? If not, how does it affect the vehicle? Does cold air intakes improve the milage?? Lot's of questions, I know.....!

My baby is my everyday vehicle and will only be taken off road once in a while.

Thanks!!

 

Hi JKswede....

lots of questions there, true.

I don't have 35s but have been researching the move to them. Most of the questions seem to come up every couple days so if you look back through the last month or so of postings you'll find lots of good info.

Check out this recent link for starters.

Good luck on your build

 

Hey m(a)ce!

Thanks for the link! It answered a lot of the questions I had. I am really looking forward to the build. Waiting for the tax return....!!!

 

about an inch

 

The 17x9's will make the tires wider, as they wont be as pinched as they would be with the 8" wheels. They will also stick 1/2" farther out on each side than with the 17x8's.

 

That's a good one
