John's 1" Lift

For that size tire you'd be OK @ 35 for unloaded daily driving. But to match the max load capacity of the stock tires/ axles you'll want ~42 psi.
Id run 38 DD but go 42-45 for longer trips or towing/hauling

I was a bit worried about the E load range at first but after talking to Matt, he assured me it wouldn't be too bad if I used the right psi. What do you recommend I run them at for 245/70?

They have to order it from a warehouse in town so I can't test fit them.

Well I'd rather not use a slip on wheel spacer or really any for that matter so I've decided to just go with 245/70r17. Hopefully this weekend...

nothing wrong with slip on spacers- ill probably run them when i go with a 245/75. i actually been browsing tires all morning- even looking at WJ threads to see what the overall best 245/75 is. i just have to pull the trigger on these COD moabs i found for sale

maybe im biased and basing my opinion on when i ran MTRs on my TJ- i know my WK weigsh a good bit more than that but still, those tires and their stiff sidewalls werent as forgiving as say a d range or lower.

Haha you can't even compare a TJ to a WK or XK. Huge difference. Hence why you didn't like the load rang E on the TJ

Sweet thanks... I'll go 38 for DD then. I usually carry some extra weight in my Jeep anyways.

I know everyone's got opinions about wheel spacers.... Personally it's just something I don't really want to worry about right now. I'll probably eventually get some 1 inch Bora wheel when I get some Moabs. Also I don't think a lot of shops will touch slip on wheel spacers but that doesn't really matter. I'm still gonna go with 245/70s and I'll think I'll be fine without spacers for now.

looking forward to see how well those fill out your wheel wells.

Here's when I had 245/70/17 general grabbers

[jjt250]

Is that with a BB?

[Matt]

Yeah that was with the 2" RC

[jjt250]

That looks really good, better than I thought it would with a lift. Okay I'm sold!
