Ideas?
 

Hey Guys, Just looking for some opinions, im looking to add some new wheels and tires to my 2011 jeep sahara, i dont do much off roading, but might do the odd run, i like the wide tires that add the mean meatier look, know what i mean? im thinking of getting rolling big power 93r or 94 r, only issue is im gunna need spacers am i correct? because of the bolt pattern? just looking for some opinions. thanks guys!

"getting rolling big power 93r or 94r"?
Lost me on what your talking about here, this a type of wheel?
I too have a 2011 2dr Sahara, put on Ultra Drifters 16 X 8" wheels with 4.5" backspacing which eliminates the need for spacers. Went with 16" rims as 18" tires cost a fortune, also gives the tire a more beefier look. Bought 285/75 - 16 Goodyear Wrangler DuraTracs, their just a hair shy of 33" and
will fit right almost completely under the fender, just the side wall lugs peeking out. No lift is required and their a very well handling tires. I've made two trips to southern Nova Scotia (from southwestern Ontario) with no incidents. (Except for being spray painted by a line marking road crew, thankfully they were using caution yellow, which almost matches Detonator Yellow!)

ya haha there rims, which was why i was asking about the spacers as the rims have i believe a 6 bolt pattern or something like that, the website said it wouldnt work on a jeep, but ive seen them on diffferent jeeps, and i was thinking of reducing the size of the rims as well for price wise, and really nice looking jeep by the way!, also the reason i ask about the spacers is i like the look where the tires come out past the fenders about 1-2", but that also makes me wonder if its legal and what other things will i have to replace, such as add a lift, etc. i might look into a 2-3 inch lift if it doesnt void the warranty. any suggestions on lifts as well?

Re: Ideas?
 

I am pretty sure you can get the correct bolt pattern for those wheels. In addition you won't need spacers since you can get difference offsets. I would call the manufacture and enquire about the different setups you can run with those rims.

As for legality of the tires/offset/backspacing? Unknown.

Re: Ideas?
 

Hey thanks for the post, ya i got looking and was thinking that they should work, now my next questions is can i run ---- Capek Radial F-C II 33/12.50R17LT on my stock height without rubbing my fender etc, haha the perks of being mechanically declined.

Re: Ideas?
 

Yes you will be able to run 33's.

hey guys, ive finally decided what im thinking of getting the new KMC xd Rockstar 2 rims and ---- Cepek fun country 33x12.5,, that being said i fi wanted my tire to stick out would i need the rim to be a 17x9 with a -12 offset? or more of an offset? i want about 1-2" out, and should i worry about rubbing on my fender or anything of the sort? thanks for all the help by the way

Re: Ideas?
 

-12 will definitely stick out. 0 offset already sticks out a bit so -12 should do the trick.

Re: Ideas?
 

That's perfect man thanks for your help its much appreciated!

Re: Ideas?
 

I have a offset of -12 17x9 wheel
Here's a shot.

Re: Ideas?
 

thats perfect thats pretty well exactly what im looking for thanks! also if i put 33x12.50r17 on do i risk rubbing on anything?

Re: Ideas?
 

Your good to go mall crawling and dirt roads but if your going to do anything off road you will want a lift.

Re: Ideas?
 

k thanks for the help, ill probably look into getting a lift maybe 2" as i dont do any extreme of roading its mostly just some old woods roads and private roads that are just extremly muddy over in pei haha, but again thansk for the help!

Re: Ideas?
 

Yup I hear ya, I got a TerraFlex 2.5 lift, Brown Santa should be delivering on Friday.. Been almost a month waiting for it...

Re: Ideas?
 

nice! ive heard good things about terra flex, just gotta get in contact with my dealer see if it will void my warranty or anything of the sorts.

Re: Ideas?
 

what size tire is that? doesn't look like they are 33x12.50, but I could be wrong.

Re: Ideas?

Re: Ideas?
 

So with tires that are 33x12.5 with those rims will stick out more. OP you should keep that in mind when buying them. I am not 100% sure if you'll get issues with cops or not. I haven't had issues with mine, but I think mine only sticks out an inch.

Re: Ideas?
 

Anyone Have Opinions On Lifts? I am looking at either a teraflex 2.5 or rock krawler 2.5 just wondering about the short arms that come with some kits are they a good idea? should it be something i invest in instead of just getting a regular coil lift, etc?
