hello! I bought a Jk, manual a few months ago and I think Im ready to start upgrading it! I want to change the stock wheels and tires and saw yours and I love the look! What kind of tires/wheels are you using? Since I have never done this I have many questions! I was thinking initially on gettin 20" rims but I believe there won't be room for the tires! I am not sure if an 18" with the kind of tires you have would make it, considering I do not want to do lifting or spacers.. thanks for your help..

You can get 20's with up to 33.25" x 12.5" without lift.
You need to check the backspacing - 5" inches works well for me but I did have to cut the air dam or you could just take it off.
Before you decide you have to ask yourself what you really plan on doing.... Street, trails, Rick climbing....
If you plan on parking on rocks or rock climbing 20's are not the route to go, you will not be able to air down enough to do it without damaging the wheel.
If you are just doing mellow trails, fields, and around town - 20's work just make sure to get some chunky looking tires to make it look good.
If you have to do highway driving 20's will give more control, 16 will make you jeep sway, 18's are a safe balance between.
Like I said, really think of what you plan on doing.....if you want to see 20's you can check my past posts.
As for tires Nitto trails or Toyo's look good and the price is not out of control.

Love the dozer color
I just drove the 2dr dozer at Adams yesterday! but 3" and 35"s is a little more than I'm looking for right now. Do you have a leveling kit on yours? What size rim and tire combo is that? I like the stance but I think I'm going 2dr?
Thanks

Yeah, after i got the wheel/tire combo, Adams decided to lift that 2dr Dozer the next day. I am running stock suspension and no leveling kit. The tires are GY Wrangler DuraTracs 285/70/17. Overall tire height is 32.8". I am running 17" Black Rock 997's.
