    17" or 18" wheels with 35s?

    I appreciate the feedback from the community. I've decided to go with 17" rims. While avoiding E load limits the choices, I found the Dick Cepek Trail Country EXP and Mickey Thompson ATZ P3 both D load in 35x12.5x17. I also found the Ridge Grappler and Open Country AT III both C load in...

    I'm finding that to be an accurate statement.

    17" or 18" wheels with 35s?

    Absolutely. Thanks. My biggest priority is avoiding E load rating in a 35 and I don't want an MT. I have only been searching AT tires. I found Dick Cepek Trail Country EXP and Mackey Thompson ATZ P3 both in 35x12.5x17 D load. They advertise them as hybrid tires so I'm hoping the highway noise...

    17" or 18" wheels with 35s?

    Good to know. That looks great. What lift do you have? Also, have you run a same sized different tire in the past? if so how do the DCs compare? Looks like you live in jeeper heaven. I don't think I need that aggressive of a tire in FL but I've read good things about the Fun Country so I feel...

    17" or 18" wheels with 35s?

    Well like I said, the tire I plan to get is available in both 17 and 18 so tire selection is not an issue. I'm really trying to find out from experienced jeepers if there are any real performance differences

    17" or 18" wheels with 35s?

    I toyed with the idea of leveling my stock JKUS (18"stock wheel) so I could put 33s but I've decided have her lifted 2.5" with .75" puck to level the front and going with 35x12.5s. I'm using a reputable local Jeep shop to do all the suspension and steering work. I need help choosing between 17...

    Anyone know about a good lift kit?

    Thanks. I think what I was trying to say is that I don't want to do major fabrications to my Jeep. I thought the kits come with the necessary parts to make the geometry corrections like the sway bar links. I do want to level it and also have a small bit of lift. I guess I don't fully understand...

    Anyone know about a good lift kit?

    I'm trying to do my homework on lifts and new wheels/tires right now. Most likely going with the kit you have. Are those Falken Wildpeak AT3's? If so, what size wheel and tire is it? Do you recommend them? Looks like a good size to go with that lift. I only want a small lift because I dont have...
