I run 17x9 wheels with 4.5" back spacing so your mileage may vary. I did have very light rubbing on that front air dam at full lock left and right. I trimmed the plastic air dam with a box cutter. No rub now. Also no rubbing on mostly flat trails but I've been researching putting on a Teraflex 2.5" coil kit if I could get away with staying LCOG I would but don't wanna run into something somewhere that the jeep can't overcome. Hence some kind of lift.

another reason for me getting that 2.5" lift is I plan to run a bumper with winch. From what I've read you can't do that on stock springs or they will sag. Other than those reasons i would stay where it's at. Someone made a comment that my jeep looked like a military humvee! I like that look

I guess I'll throw mine in as well. No lift or leveling kit with steel bumper added. 285/65 R18 tires with 18x9 Level 8 Strike 5 wheels with 5" backspacing.
Was originally going to go with 17" wheels but I already had some tires off a truck I sold.
Anyway, I'm happy with the setup.

How do you like those G2s? I'm planning on getting some for mine. Also, what do they measure out to when mounted? I know a lot of manufacturers differ from what they post for the specs on their tires.

Looks great! Did you order the wheels/tired as a package? If so, where did you get them from? Thanks!
