stocko wranglers

[bluemq]

Seriously looking into buying a TJ but the main thing that annoys me is the standard wheel size.

I can't beleive they are only a 28" tyre from the factory...

....which legally means you can only fit a 29" (30" if you want to stretch the law).

Such a disapointment that they don't even come with 31" from the factory.

Do most people just fit bigger tyres anyway?

I am trying to keep the rig legal for insurance reasons.

when i was looking at buying a my wrangler recently, Peter Warren Jeep had a brand new red sports with a 2' OME lift and 31' BFG All Terrains, now for them to be able to sell it, it has to be 100% road legal I aksed the salesman this and he said that they wouldn't have put togther the package if it wasn't legal, I didn't end up buying it they wanted $37,000 for it which was way too much

From doing some more research, apparantly the dealer will actually warrent 31" but no bigger.

Can someone who has a TJ list the factory tyre placard ?

31's is a lot better then 28's - and I would probably even be happy just running 31's until I can afford to do the full suspension/gearing modification.

Also, I have since read that you can apparantly fit 31's but they may rub a tiny bit at full articulation on a stock TJ.

That is a lot better then my previous thoughts; and I am now back to wanting a wrangler again :o)

31's with stock suspension shouldn't rub, but you may need to adjust the steering stops marginally. I run my TJ with Old Man Emu lift, 31;'s and swaybar disconnects, and although I'd love 32 or 33, it does everything I want it to do, and to take the next step you need body lift, offset rims, diff ratios and SYE, so it is a big step.

31's and a 2" lift is right for me!

[bluemq]

That is what I want to hear.

Thanks.

How much was your 2" lift ?

[PK]

I think it was around the $1100 mark, (springs, shockers, transfer case spacers, bump stop extension etc) and easy to fit. I went with slightly heavier springs in the rear (I tow a camper trailer sometimes) it raised the rear almost 3 inches, and the front just over 2 inches.
Immediate difference in ride quality on and off road, and if you also invest in front swaybar disconnects, the articulation is fantastic!

Good luck

brought my TJ from the dealer with 31s

[bluemq]

So legally you should be able to fit 32's, possibly even 33's with the right tyre placard.

[franco]

with the right lift kit, you can fit 33s and 35s. There are heaps of dudes with 33s.

[bluemq]

Oh I don't doubt it, I just want it to be legal + the gearing not be fucking rediculous + not cost the world to get it to this state.

I'll be happy with a suspension lift and 31's.

[Krankieone]

I just got a 2 inch ome kit with heavy duty springs and a 10mm packer in the front (have winch & ARB bar) runs 33's with no drama the gearing is alittle tallish but still acceptable(to me)

[bluemq]

wranglers are getting better by the second :o)

I guess if I factor suspension and gearing + 33's it will be perfect.
