2.5'' Lift on 35s, no off-set
Alright, on a stock 4dr JK, X trim package and I was looking to toss the following on it and i had a pair of questions.
Wheels
http://www.elites-wholesale.com/Shop...d/0/rid/126374 (17x8)
Tires
http://www.quadratec.com/products/92606_3XX_A_PG.htm (35x12.4)
Suspension
http://www.quadratec.com/products/16117_102X_B_PG.htm (Nitro)
My two questions are:
What do you think of the skyjackers? The stuff i've read on the forums hasn't been highly flattering, are they flat out crap or just not worth the price? Is there anything particularly wrong about them? Throw down another $150 for the Teraflex?
the other is: with the combo of 2.5 inch lift, 35x12.4 tires and no offset on the rims am i gonna have any problems with rubbing?
and quick third problem i just came up with, is 8'' rims with a 12.4'' tire gonna be alright?

The 2.5" lift will clear 35's
You will need at least 4.5" backspacing on any wheels you decide to get to not rub
Skyjacker tends to be over priced and their kits are never quite complete, thats why most people dont like them.

Well thanks for the help all, I think i will get some Teraflex :-D.
And i'm glad to hear some people in favor of those wheels, i was a little disappointed, i thought they looked sick.
Buut they still don't have any offset, so if i'm gonna have problems with rubbing (fairly important, the turning radius on a Jeep has always been one of my favorite things about them) should i get some wheel spacers? Any suggestion on size or material? Or are spacers flat out not worth it and i should start looking for some different wheels?
