Default Wheel Size Advice please

Hi, just got my 2014 Wrangler Sport and want to upgrade my stock 17in alloy wheels. Can anyone help me, I need to know what is the largest alloy wheel with tyre I can fit without lifting? I basically just want to slip the new ones on.

Any advice on the best place for wheels on line?

Thanks ver much.....

I'm a fan of 15's and 33x12.50. I ran this setup for about 4 years. Just make sure the 15's are 3.75 backspacing or less. You won't have to put a lift on for 33's. It's a good set up!


And just incase you didn't know, JK's are a 5 on 5 bolt pattern.

As for best place, 4 wheel parts has procomp 15's for about $50 a wheel. Not sure how much the 33's are on there

Check out
Discounted wheel warehouse

They offer payment plans if you need as well with no credit checks.

33's of you want to just slap them on and go.

35's if you don't mind to do some cutting. You'll need longer bump stops though if you want to wheel it.

My recommendation is go with the 33's to make things simpler.

Hi, when you say 33's sorry I'm a little confused. My current wheels are 17 in, what does the 33 relate to ?

Thanks.

33s relate to the tire. 33in tall tires with 15" wheels are pretty common. I'm in the process of acquiring 35in duratracs on 17in wheels with 4.5 in back spacing.
