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.

Are you sure you want to do that (18" rims)? Are you going to run 37s or larger? If not, the smaller tire sidewall doesn't provide as much protection for the rim when aired down. The tires are significantly more expensive than 35s for 15, 16 or 17 inch rims. Also, as for the 9" wide rim: Again, unless you're opting for really large tires you run the risk of popping a bead when aired down. If you're not going to off-road and you're after for that movie star-wannabe look, forget everything you just read.

What he said....I am still wondering why JEEP put 18's on a stock Sahara.

I've got the Steel Blue as well and I'm buying new wheels/tires in the next month or two and I've been going back and forth on some wheels but I know the flat black look would be great with our color. In 18" I'm definiely leaning toward the XD Monster or XD Addict but I've also been looking at 16" Procomp's including the 7031 because of lower prices for tires and I think I want the look of as a big a sidewall as I can even though my rig is a mall crawler. Still haven't made up my mind.
