X with Rubicon Wheels/Tires?
Has anybody here just taken stock Rubicon wheels and tires and put it on an X? Better yet, do you have pictures?
I have the steel wheels on mine, with the wimpy GY wrangler tires. Those wheel wells need to be filled in, and I think the Rubicon looks amazing, with its stock wheels and tires. But, will they give the X the same look? I know the suspension is different, but it looks like the X should be able to fit the Rubi stockers easily, no? |
Yeah it's been done. You don't need a picture just imagine an x in the appropriate place & use your finger to block the word rubicon. Abbracapocus . There's no appreciable height diff. attributed to the suspension.

Did it...love it...don't have a pic here at work. :2thumbs:
|
Doing it this weekend, I'll post some pics after it's done. But, there are a few others here and there in the my jk project section if you look.
|
I ran 33's at stock height for while too....so 32's should be no issue at all.

What ratio do you have? Mine came with the 3.21 and I am little concerned about that with the Rubicon wheels and tires. I think I am going to have to change that. |
My "X" came with the 3.21 and I haven't noticed much of a change at all after going from the stock 225/75R16's up to the 265/75R16's....it should be fine, but I agree it could benefit from a better rear end.

Ok, I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I get the new ones on there. I am sure at some point I'll change the ratio, but my JK is only a week old, and I wasn't ready to do it this early. I am happy to hear that it doesn't make a big difference. I was hoping that I could get away with just changing the speedo gear for now, and doing the ring and pinion changes later on.
Thanks for the info.
