Looking to see how far out past the fenders the tires will stick with this combo.

More specifically if anyone has MTZ's in that size on Procomp 7031 flat black that would be even better! Thanks

AHunter

anyone?

AHunter

not one person? what tires and what bs is everyone running then?

These are 295/65/18 duratracs on procomp 7031 rims. About 33x11.7. I really wouldn't want them sticking out any further.

Here's another

Thanks for the pics! Looks awesome man! How do you like the 7031's? I should be picking mine up this Saturday.

Are you running stock suspension or a leveling kit?

zrs

Thanks. Those pics are with stock suspension. I do have 10th anniversary rubicon springs and shocks to go on when it warms up a bit. (I like the stance the 10A's had) The 7031 procomps with the duratracs were a great combo to add the black I needed to tone down the gecko a bit. I bought a spare grille off kijiji I'm going to get line x'd black as well.

Nice, where did you find the 10A springs/shocks?
Do you have the tow package with your Sahara?
Any idea what you will gain with the springs?

I have been thinking about the grille too, haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. My windshield brackets were rusting so I had them sandblasted and powder coated flat black. It's a nice look, it will look better with my new 7031's and my soft top! I have the tow package/hard top on my 2011 JKUS and I have read that they came from the factory with better springs with that combo. The 10A's will definitely gain you more just curious as to how much? I am tossing in the TF Leveling kit next weekend.

Back when I was looking at wheels, tires, back spacing...for giggles I took some baselines on a piece of cardboard. In otherwords, the stock Sahara 18" wheel with it's 6.25" BS (off the top of my head) and mocked up a template with different tire widths....and held that up to my fender.

Next, took the BS of the wheel I wanted, RR 17X9 and transfered that to my template. Gave me a rough idea as to how much 'stickey-e-out-e' I would get. Funny, after the install, template was pretty darn close.


I took all the tire dimentions from Tirerack and manufactures web sites, and some handy threads guys posted on how to measue backspacing.

Some times you have to dig to ge the BS values from wheel manufactures...not sure why.
My 2cents on springs....gains from a stock spring upgrade will depend on your current stock spring numbers to the ones you are looking at. Most gains are had when original numbers are low, going to a higher number when the donar springs are from a 4 door to a 2 door.

Love the Geko and the accent of the black on black wheels and tires. Nice Jeep!
