I would suggest looking for some 17in Rubi take offs. Tires to fit and 18 in rims get expensive quick. Usually in the for sale section of the forum you can find some Rubi take offs with low miles and you have instant mud terrains and bigger tires and rims. Really helps fill out those wheel wells and makes the Jeep look better.
All depends on the look you are going for.

I have been talking to someone sellinh rubicon wheels and tires.
I have a few noob queztions. Will these wheels fit no prob? Do I need new lugnuts? Will it fit on the spare holder?
Any chance this could void a warranty? Sorry in advance for my noob ?'s

as long as the wheels/tires came from a JK rubi you'll be fine -- that was the first thing I did to mine when I got her. you can use the same lugnuts (I'd suggest getting a set of lug locks so your spare doesn't get stolen) and it'll fit fine in the spare tire mount.
I don't think warranty will be a problem, but since you're upgrading to 17" wheels you'll need to reflash your computer to account for the size difference. Bigger wheels will throw off your speedo.
welcome to the forum!

Thanks guys for the info!
Is recalibrating the ecu something I can do? Or dealer only?
And the addiction has begun with only 600 miles on the odo!
