When I use an image I simply wrap image tags around the URL like this:
(I added spaces after the"[" so the tags wouldn't get picked up.)

I believe you can upload an image by clicking go advanced and then clicking the paperclip icon.
I will try:

Seemed to work

I like the stock 20” rims on my 2014 Overland, planning on purchasing a set of Spacers to get the nicer looks from the back. Anyone know if I will have issues with the Tire Pressure monitors or any other electronics or safety issues with using the spacers .. Thanks..

Make sure you get hub-centric spacers and when mounting them, make sure you cut that little ring off of each of the five threaded OEM posts. It may or may not have these little clips, just watch for them because they'll prevent the spacer from mounting perfectly flush.

Won't cause any TPMS issues.

Here's what I added to my 2011 WK2 for winter... MB wheels with Goodyear Silent-Armor all-terrains. Worked really well last winter. Added the chaos center caps cause they looked better, and wouldn't catch mud/snow behind the original cap.

This may be bad form, but I also just put them up on eBay. Pls don't IM or ping me here about them, though, because we're not in the 'for sale' forum. Apologies if I'm breaking a rule or something by saying that...

Hey guys, will the Rubicon JK wheels and mud terrain tires (32") fit just fine on my incoming GC Diesel? I saw that some GC's come with 17" wheels, so I figure I would be fine. I believe both vehicles use the same bolt pattern and offset?

Also, how have you guys been handling the spare tire size issue when running non-stock sizes?

We drive at a tilt for a few miles until we find a tire shop. ;)

Hi i am new here and like this forum so much i got new wheels for my WK2 Lexani R4 black machine 22x9 i am planing to get 305 40 22 , but i am woundring if 305 width will fit on the rim 9 inch width, so please give me your advice.
305 tire will fit fine on the rim, but I couldn't find what the offset is online for this wheel. That is what is really going to be important. If the wheel offset is too shallow, they'll stick out way past the fender and look goofy; if the offset is too deep, they will rub either when turning or even on that nut situated at the top of the front tires. Find me the offset for this wheel and I'll do the math for you.

Does anyone have pics of the stock ORA2 wheels on a more aggressive tire (275/65/18)?

My 2014.5 SFU should be here in the next week and I'm looking to get new tires pretty quick. I'm looking at terra grapplers, wrangler AT or even the duratracs. I don't know if I have seen the stock 18's on different rubber.

Thanks!

I posted some pics with the wrangler AT 265/65/18 in this post:

Sometimes fate makes your decisions for you ... Since I first placed my order for my SFU on 8/9 I've been debating which tires to put on - P vs LT, which brand and what size. Early on I had settled on the Wrangler All-terrain Adventures for the brand, but kept waffling on P vs LT and size. I finally narrowed it down to P. While I wanted the slightly higher profile of the 265/65R18, I wasn't sure if there would be an appreciable impact on all of the various electronics (besides the obvious speed/mileage being off) due to the different size so decided to be conservative and stick with stock.

Well, as fate would have it, the supplier shipped the wrong tire. Even though the store ordered the 265/60s, they sent the 265/65s. So I said "what the heck, put 'em on".

Two days later I loaded up the SO and kids into the SFU and headed up to the mountains.





This was the first real trip with the SFU and it acquitted itself quite admirably. The drive was very pleasant and everything worked flawlessly. Two very nice advantages to the diesel: 1) With the lower RPMs the SO thought we were going slower than we really were. :) 2) With the staggering range, I was able to go from SF to Tahoe, drive around a bunch and get home without filling up, which meant not having to pay the $0.30/gal extra that stations in and around tahoe charge.

And somewhat ironically, due to the fact that Tahoe didn't have as much snow as normal for this time of year, I got to put 'er through some slick and somewhat difficult offroad paces. We wanted to find a nice sledding spot for the kids, so I started doing some exploring and wound up on a poorly-maintained, narrow dirt road that was a fun mix of mud, ice, snow and rocks. The Jeep and the new tires did quite admirably, making conditions that are typically pretty trying seem fairly trivial.

Here you can glimpse her hiding out in her natural habitat. :)



Now that I've had some decent time with it and used it in a variety of scenarios, I'm going to finally finish doing my review in the Owners's thread. But if you want the Cliff Notes - it has exceeded my expectations!

Ok... seems there are no LT M/T tires in the following ranges: 265/60/18 (30.5", stock size on the '13 Trailhawk), 265/65/18 (31.6"), or 255/70/18 (32.1").

I did find M/T tires in 275/65/18 (~32.3") like the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac LT275/65R18 E/10PR.

Anyone running this size on there WK2 with the QL and actually flexed the suspension at full steering lock at the different suspension settings? Does it touch/rub any hard parts?

Thanks,

XJ97Sport (It's a Black 2 door, 5 speed with OME lift, re-geared and F/R ARB lockers, and some other stuff)

Lexani R-05's 22x9 et35 22x10 et40 Nitto 420s 275/40r22 305/40r22
They look great. Are you running AWD or 2x4? Was always curious if the staggered tire sizes screw with the AWD system since the rolling circumference is different?

Guys, hoping someone could give me a quick answer to my question. Im installing the RRO 2.5 lift, purchased a set General Grabber AT2's (265/70/18) and am not trying to decide on wheels. Im considering the wheel but am not sure if the back spacing will work. I think the factory 20" wheels I have are 7" back spacing, will a wheel with 5" of back spacing work? Thanks for your help!

Your original tire size is 30.5", new tire size is 32.6", and it will stick out 1.5" more than stock. Same width tire as stock. Hopefully you don't have fender rub with it sticking out so far coupled with a taller tire.

Btw, you're new speed at 60mph will be 64.2 unless you get a programmer to fix it.
