I have a new 2015 JKU Sport with 3.21 gears. Can I pull off 33's like this without changing gears to 3.73 or 4.10? Looking at a budget level lift to give some extra clearance, but gears look to be quite the expense.
What's the long term effect of not going to 3.73 or 4.10's with this kind of setup?
what's the backspace on your wheels? Any rub problems? I have a set of BFG AT 33 12.5 15 off my TJ that I'd like to put on my JK so I'll have to order new 15 inch wheels because the bolt pattern is different.
Nice ride!! With the tires being so wide, is there any excess stress on U-joints, etc? I have a month to wait for my Jeep....just trying to figure this out!!
This thread is great! I've been looking at tires. I don't want to lift and just got new wheels a few months ago. I have ProComp series 7005 wheels, 17x8 with a 4.5 backspace. Does anyone know if 285/70/17 is the largest I can go? I know I can't get taller but how about wider?
Also... Anyone have a recommendation on a quiet AT tire with aggressive tread? I'm not a huge fan of the duratec which everyone else seems to love. I know, I'm needy. But aren't we all?

I'm in a similar boat. Not that I don't like the duratracs but id like more aggressive but also still quite. Which I know is probably extremely needy but I'm to cheap to do what it requires to rub 35's but still want a "jeep" look that I can drive everyday.

Love the ride; super quiet.
