I personally would go with a 2 1/2" lift if you go with the 35's. The wheels look great!

2.5 lift definitely 35's or no lift with flat fenders with 35's.

I'm a big fan of these RR wheels, I'm rolling them in satin black

The custom paint is a very nice touch and I'm sure they will pop when you get the mounted

I will keep an eye out for the photos

Cheers

I would definitely do 35's with a lift... I'm trying to avoid the lift and still want the look and stance w/ no rubbing...

What do you actually cut on the fenders... is it just the inside back wall?

Forgive me if this question is a little off-topic, but are those of you running the RR wheels finding the finish holds up over time and use? Is the center cap as cheap plastichrome as it looks in some of the catalogs? I really like the overall look of these wheels, but those two concerns have kept me leaning toward AEV Savegres. (The downside with those is obvious -- they cost an arm and a leg!)

I've got 17,000km on mine, new this past April-13. Still look like new, but I do wash my Jeep once a week.

Thinking of putting plasti dip on them before we see salt on the roads

No complaints on the RR wheels....I'd buy them again in a heartbeat

I had such a hard time pulling the trigger on a lift for 33's... It really is that grey area, I debated in my head for 2 months. Finally ordered the TF performance leveling kit. Figured if i want to go up a little I can add 3/4" pucks to it and piece together the rest (track bars, shock extensions, etc)
