Hey guys, what's the thought of driving with 35" wheels? Good bad etc.

I will be getting my jeep in a few weeks and was thinking of upgrading the wheels to 35" and 20"rims. I mostly do city driving but want to hit the trails whenever I can.

Max i would go is 18"s. If you plan on trailing your jeep, more rubber = better traction when aired down. You're better off with 17"s or even 16"s but i find them a little more unstable for road driving. Wobbles more. Nice middleground are the 17"s and more tire selection to choose from.

Jeff, quick question. How are 35s on gas? I mean with the stock 3:21 gears, do you ever get to see 5th with the automatic?

3.21s with 35"s is pushing the limit. 3.73s aren't bad, 4.10s are preferable. Max i would go with 3.21s is 33"s, even with the pentastar
