Hello I’m Brian and new here and would like to say hello! I’ve only owned a Jeep for about two years. Been wanting to fix it up some but haven’t had much of a chance. I did replace the clutch last year with a Center force but that’s all I’ve had time for… work work work and family issues.
My Jeep could one day be nice but so far it has stock wheels, moderate lift and I meant to look… 31” tires. The tires need to be replaced and wheels have seen their day. When I turn sharply the tires rub.
My questions are these…
1. I’ll check for sure on tire size tomorrow but what is biggest tire I can run without changing gear?
2. What tires do you recommend for street use and potential off road occasional use. It’s mostly my work car and all I have time for is work.
3. Is it better to go with 15” or 17” wheels? Pro’s and Con’s
4. Want them not to rub and would rather not use spacers. So what other dimension do I need to accomplish this? I’ve heard 9” with 4.5” backspacing.
5. Don’t really care for wide tire and have heard narrow tire actually performs better! So Wide or Narrow?
6. Want some decent well made wheels that aren’t ridiculously expensive. Got any suggestions?
7. Jeep is brownish gold…so go with black wheels or something gold/bronze?
WANT’s
Want the tires to look aggressive and be prepared for anything because it’s a JEEP damn it!
Want it to quit rubbing when I turn
Want some decent wheels but want to try to lighten things up a bit. I’ve heard bigger wheels and smaller tires are the lighter choice.
Thanks!
