    Share your wheel and tire set up and Pictures

    I message on quite a few forums and it seems the forums that have the best information are the ones with the most details. So in order show off your wheel and tire set ups here please post a picture or two along with details about your set up. Please include both your wheel (Wheel brand and style name, wheel diameter, width and offset or backspace) and tire specs (brand, tread style and size), any suspension modifications or upgrades and most importantly, any modifications you had to do to get them to fit (fender liner trimming, bumper cutting, addition of spacers, etc.).

    Happy posting.

    My current set up is a set of BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A's, L255/75/R17, mounted on Jeep Rubicon Moab Rims from a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. These are 32" tires mounted on 17" rims and I have to run the 1.5" Spidertrax spacers in order for the rim to clear the brakes. I also have the 2.25" Rocky Road lift to allow enough room to run a 32" tire inside the wheel well. There was some wheel well (plastic parts) that needed trimming and the pinch weld has to be rolled over a little or it will come in contact with the outside edge of the tire.

    I run Brigestone 265/75/17 tires on the stock 6 spoke chrome limited wheels. To use this size tire I installed the Rocky Road 2.25" lift also and the 1.5" Spidertrax spacers for clearance. I have never had to modify the pinch weld or had any issues with rubbing. I did replace the stock rear coils springs with Superlift 4" lift coils that I got from Phunkeydude because of the weight that I carry in the rear of the Commander. It was not a tire clearance issue. It was the fact that I was compressing the springs on bumps because of the weight.

    I'm running a Rough Country 2" lift with stock struts and stock springs and shocks. My tires are Goodyear Duratracs , 245/75R17 mounted on Vision Warrior 375s. I dont know the specs of the wheels but they are a direct replacement for the XK from Discount Tire.com. I have no rubbing at all. I've been out on the beach where the suspension was completely compressed and up to Flag Pole Knob and still no rubbing. the last picture was taken today after spending 5 hours cleaning it on Friday. I know, its clean. I dont mind getting the Jeep dirty but I also dont mind maintaining it either, which includes cleaning.

    I like those wheels and tires Neil Smith. When you get time send me a PM with the prices. I really do not need new tires but they do look nice.

    Running a 2" RC lift Maxxis Big Horns MT's 265/70/17 on stock rims. I used 1/4 spacer's up front to clear the knuckle. I did trim the wheel wells in the rear and only get rubbing at full lock up front. I to have had this setup stretched in all directions off road and no rubbing issues from that at all.
