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.

Here are pics of 40" tires on a 2 door

he JPTwinz how wide are your 40s and also how wide are your rims? I'm thinking of getting 38s but i don't know if my rims can handle the tire.

Mine are 40x15.50 on 20x9 wheels with -12 offset and 4.53" of backspacing.

I would suggest either skinnier tires, less wheel backspacing, a wider wheel or wheel spacers. My tires rub on the upper front control arms at full turn and I even had one fo the rear tires scrape the vertical surface of my rear fender well when it was stuffed in.

hey thanks for the answer, I have 18x8.5 with 4.5 backspacing, but I also run a 1.25 spacer which brings it down to 3.25 so i think i should be OK thanks again.
