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.

i think the 35s look small with the spyderlocks. should i go bigger? my only draw back is trails just are not fun any more when you go to big. what do you think?

I think your Jeep looks great, good job. I kinda disagree with your statement I went from 35s to 37s and now i'm making the jump to 40s, and I haven't been bored yet. I think it just gives you confidence to try harder lines.Just my

I would go 37s at least on your ride...38s and 40s might look great too.

Nope One of the advantages of coilovers is its 100% adjustable, so I can dial in the height for proper clearance and still keep a low center of gravity.

Go bigger! I was contemplating 37s on my 2.5" coil spacer lift and some cutting. Settling for 35s.. You need some 38s or so!

i for one think your jeep looks great, your could go bigger, or you could get a hemi and smoke the 35s to go bigger eventually anyway
but really, being yours is a rubicon it could handle 38's but depending on what you do with your jeep, i like your current setup.

It's a sickness . I agree 35s look small after a lift and flat or chopped fenders. I've only got 4000 miles on my 35" MTZs and now want 37-38s....

I just moved up to 37s, a lot of times I think I should have stayed with 35s I really think my jeep was perfect with the 35s, having said that, I know that if I had to do it all over again I'm sure I would end up with the same result (I just could not buy the same tire size)


Quick Reply: stay 35, or go 37, 38
