What size tires are those on the stock wheels? I can almost read it...
33x12.50X17?
They look really good on the powdercoated black stockers. Do you use spacers for those?
Do you have another set of wheels for the 35s?

Pics look great. Looks like a really fun trail.

Yeah, they are 33x12.50x17. They are also the stock wheels with NO spacers. People can say what they want, but I have zero rubbing issues with this setup and I really stretch it out. The rims for the 35's are Pro comp 8179(?) . They are def spaced out farther. Im not really partial to either.

Nice jeep dude!!!

The second pic is different wheels, I love the tires on the first shots with stock wheels, what are the spefics on those and do you have a lift at all, How much were they. Is the road noise loud? gas milage a big change?

I want new tires but don't have money for a lift yet.

Yes, I have the 3" FT lift and love it! Flexes and rides well. If you plan on only mild wheelin and mainly street looks, I would say get the narrow xexons, maybe a 1" BL and you can run 35's all day. As far as my wheel set up, I have three sets of wheels/tires:
1) Stock rubi rims with 33x1250x17 MT Claws
2) Procomp 8179 16x10 with 35x1350 Bias Ply MT Claws
3) 17x9 Granite alloy wheels painted yellow with 33x1350 SSR's
