Rim and tire sizes?

[bobthetj03]

It's @bobthetj03's TJ. He has a small(ish) lift, but I don't remember how much or who the manufacturer is. Nice setup though, huh?

Edited to add: @Marc Lecoq, I went to bobthetj03's profile page to look that information up, and he has a 2-1/2" OME lift. I thought that was the case...

Ahh shucks! Thanks.

Ahh shucks! Thanks.

It was the small(ish) part, wasn't it...

Here is a 15x8 wheel with 3.99 backspacing with 32s......

No issues on stock tire carrier....except I will need to extend the bump stops on the tailgate to make contact with the tire.

I just updated my Jeep with the RubiconRE7000-3 3.5 Super-Flex Short arm Lift Kit ,Old man EMU Sport Shocks, Old Man EMU Steering Damper, Adams Driveshaft rear 1310CV driveshaft for the Jeep TJ utilizing SYE, Advance Adapters SYE Kit, Drag Link end( pitman arm)
Question now is 33" or 35" tires with 15x8 Rims?

I would go with the 33" tire with 8" X 15" wheel. I went that route and like it. I had the 12.50 and didn't care much for it and went down to 10.50 like bobthetj03 did.

So much better! Those 18" JK wheels were not doing you any justice...

What back spacing did you go with and is it possible to show a pic of how far your tires stick out

 

[Marc L]

They are 4-1/2 back space. Here are a couple photos for you. They stick out from the stock flares around 3”.
