Default Finally got my tires on

So here they are. First, some measurements for everyone worried about how tall something can be before it hits the garage. The tires are 315/70R17 (a little more than 34"), and the lift is a Rough Country 4".

Flare at the front tire

Flare at the rear tire

And then the money shots. Also note that I have 2" hubcentric spacers on the wheels, and the tires are Firestone Destination M/Ts.

Looks great.

Without sounding like a retard.... are those 315/70's on STOCK rubicon wheels (8" wide)? Curious cause I didn't know you could put a tire that fat on those rims...... and it's certainly a and a nice bit of info if you can

Well, they're the upgraded X rim, but it is identical to the Stock Rubi wheel except for the finish. So yeah, they fit just fine.

Well Dr.McNinja, what is your verdict on these Firestones? How many miles have you put on them? Take them on any serious rock crawling?

Thanks in advance!

I have read nothing but good things about the Destination MT. I love the look of them and space between treads.

Also, McNinja do you have any rubbing from turning sharp? I know with spacers your backspacing should be around 4.75". It looks Great by the way!

The wheels I saw on the unlimited rubicons were 17x7.5, I have an unlimited X with upgraded wheels which are the same size, so you may be running those tires on a 7.5" wide wheel, they still look great.
