New wheels/tires on the rig

Just thought I would show the boys my most recent purchase.

18" 2013 Sahara wheels on dueler A/T 255/70r18's with about 500 miles on them!

No rubbing and no spacers needed and the full size matching spare wheel/tire fit perfectly under the spare tire door.

One thing that was weird; when the tires were cold no tpms light came on but when the tires got warm, it came on. I am thinking maybe bc I had my other wheels in the trunk that maybe there was radio interference, but if not I will just swap out the ones on my stock 17's.

And one last thing... Does anyone know if the Sahara unlimited comes with tpms?

Looks real good man!

I've been wanting to powder coat the chrome wheels on my truck but I'm always weary of the durability of it. I don't have any experience with it.

I used the tpms sensors that were on the 2013 JK wheels on our 2011 and they are working flawlessly.
Thanks brother. Actually, it isn't full powder coat, it's plasti dip, so if you don't like it, you can just pull it of.

Personally, I love the look, so it's Gunna a stay that way.

As for the tpms, doing the swap this weekend
You are lucky to find those wheels they aren't that common since they are 70th anniversary from the special editions 2011 JK. I was hunting down a set on ebay once and never saw another set posted again while I was looking.

I actually saw a few sets on there as recently as two weeks ago, but are going for more than double what I paid. So, I feel like a lucky young man.

:)

P.S. the ones that I got were off of an 2013.

Here they are on an old posting.

Those fit nice and the color looks sweet!
Thanks man. At first, I couldn't get a definite answer on if they would fit without rubbing, but when I put the first one one, I honestly was kinda in awe about how great they looked on the rig.

Put a few hundred miles on her since and couldn't be happier.
Checked out pics again and really like the stance with 18's.

Totally agree. My only gripe (kinda stupid one) is when i apply tire shine, it always whips up and gets on the doors. Its the spray on foam.. So, i think I am going to apply it then go at it with a pain brush to try to get it out of the grooves of the tire. Other than that ridiculous gripe, I couldn't be happier. Now, I just can't wait for the snow to come so I can see how she handles.
