Unhappy Tires and Rims

Hey Ladies and Gents,

Need some help with tires and rims. Looking to purchase a set of Incubus 5 bolt rims and Fierce Attitude M/T tires. Tire Size: 225/75/R16 - which is the size of tire i have now, these are 32". So what i need to know is if i put these on a stock 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport will I have to change my gear ratio at all?

There is an attachment of the tires and rims

Thanks in advance

If you are changing tires
with tires that are the same size as what you are currently running,
what gives you the impression you have to regear your axles?

No, you won't need to change gears for the same size tire.

My mistake, the measurements ( 225/75/R16) are the same, but in general the tire will be going from stock to 32" plus the tread will be much more aggressive....can you tell I am new to this?

will it still be ok?

225/75/16 is just a hair over 29 inches.
You won't need to re gear your jeep. Throw em on and run it! :)

With a 2012 you don't really need to regear unless you go to 37's, which is a long way away from 32's. The stock 2012 sahara comes with 32's.
