How about some details on those wheels.. they are not OEM, correct?

 

[macneill]

I believe they are the factory 18s.

 

[sleeoffroad]

Factory LC 18". The LX 18" have a slit in them like the 16"'s

Those tires on the wheels look pretty good.

Some pics...

That picture comparing stock to 35 is hilarious! WOW!

 

[tabraha]

That's gonna look great!!! Those spacers can't get here soon enough.

 

[Augie]

Those wheel and tire combination looks awesome. Could not wait to see the full picture.

I wish I had the BEEEEEEP to put on some sweet lookin' tires like these or Tads.

For anybody else looking for 35" or 37" tires on 18" wheels, there are actually quite a few to choose from. But obviously since they aren't very popular, they are pricey.

BFG MT
ProComp X-Terrain 3-ply
Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radial
Toyo Open Country M/T

Mickey Thompson Baja Radial ATZ
ProComp Xtreme AT
Toyo Open Country A/T
Nitto Terra Grapler A/T

Hey Jay-

Truck looks great with those MT/R's. Have fun breaking them in at rubicon.

Here is a photos, before and after the Con. What upset me the most is that the rubber valve cap is missing.

Cheers,

Hoser,

Did you get those spacers installed? Where are the pics

 

[macneill]

Yeah, WTF dude?

 

[tabraha]

I'm waiting on the custom spacers and they should be here later this week.

The only problem is that I'm going out of town. Sorry to make you wait, fellas. Believe me, I want to put them on more than anything. I have to put on my Slee bumper and Speed Calibrator, as well. My next stop will be gears, lockers and front bumper.

 

[UltraFJ40]

Still looking for the pics Hoser. Where did you get the spacers and what specs are they?

Thanks,

Doug

Question...

How much (if any) wheel travel do you lose with those monsters ? My 285/75/16`s seem to stuff just as far (as the stock tires) without rubbing anything in the well..I cant imagine how THAT much rubber can fit in there under full compression...especially with the steering wheel cranked in either direction.

Just curious, because I am SO impressed with the amount of articulation still available with the OME/33" tire combo

 

[spressomon]

Perty sure that's a 105 there...

Exactly...solid front axle and all...

Not sure if I read this correctly or if it is a joke(smiley) but always specify metal valve caps on your tires, they are less likely to pop or flick off when they hit or drag on a rock and get full of rock and dirt and let your tire down. Has happened to me before I had metal caps.

Hmmm...

No answer to my question yet ? Is it that no-one knows the answer, or perhaps, its just too Taboo to ask ?...

I would like to justify putting larger tires (35" perhaps)...but I want my rig to be just as functional (I.E. plenty of wheel travel) ...
