JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

The sidewalls are also tall enough to provide enough flex for a comfortable ride with up to D load range tires, but E's are a bit too stiff.

For the price of a set of 18x35" tires you can buy 17"s and have some cash for new wheels.
The sidewall height on my 18" wheels and 35s is pretty much exactly the same as the stock 255/75/17 KMs that came on my rubi on the stock wheels. While it would be nice to have a lil bit more sidewall, I like the way it handles with the setup it has. It def hasnt hindered offroad performance. Granted I do have beadlocks so the rings take the beating, instead of the rim itself.

Default 35s on 18s
I have done some heavy duty crawlin in the rocks,aired down to 10lbs and did pretty well. Did get some rock rash on the wheels,but performed well.I'm not too happy with the BFG's,I'm thinking of going to the toyo next time.Overall this tire/wheel configuration rides and handles very good.

I've also only had them for 2 weeks.
Thanks for the feedback.
