Show your NARROW STANCE ! ... wheel spacers need not apply
Many trails in Crawlorado become very NARROW in places... whether it’s switch-backing up the side of a mountain, squeezing between boulders and trees or accessing wilderness boundaries through overgrown vegetation. It is beneficial in this state to lift a jeep onto taller tires but keep the width to a minimum.
No offense, but I am not particularly a fan of the way a wide footprint looks, despite their benefits in certain situations. It seems it is becoming harder and harder to find jeeps that keep the wheels tucked in under fender now days.
Please post your NARROW STANCE / FOOTPRINT pics !!! And let us know what makes it that way: wheel/tire combo --- wheel /tire width --- backspacing amount --- wheel offset ????

There a couple of Jeeps I've seen on the forum with "tall skinny's" on 'em. I like the look, too. Earlier in the week I searched on "35x10.50" and came up with a couple. There's also a guy that put 34x9.5x16's SS Narrow's on his Unlimited.
If there was a better selection of 35 or even 36 10.50's, I'd go that route. It's just easier to be like everyone else and do 12.50's.

Here's my JK with the 3" Teraflex longarms lift and 35x12.50x17" Baja Claws on the stock Moab wheels, no wheel spacers. No rubbing in the rear but had some rub on the sway bar at full lock and the top of the spring mount at full stuff. Pretty narrow though. Tires tucked in under the flares at all times.
