Well, decided to stick with 33's as that is the max the levelling kit will accommodate and realistically, I won't be wheeling it too often, more of a mall crawler, lol.

Hey man just wanted to chime in and tell you I love the all white jeep. Wish I could have gotten a new one. You should think about playing up that all white look, since it will be a mall crawler anyways that thing has tons of parking lot potential. Also that spedo through me off for a minute lol. Anyways nice jeep can't wait to see the progress.

lol, thought I owned the worlds fastest JK?? lol I do own an SRT8 Grand Cherokee as well.

I am going with 18x9 Fuel Hostage wheels (may switch to the Octanes instead), 4.5 backspace with 285/65/18 Nitto Trail Grappler tires. The bumper I ordered was the Poison Spyder Brawler Lite with the D-ring hooks, powder coated black. I have a Teraflex coil spring leveling kit ordered as well. Should be about 3 weeks for all of the parts to get here and then I should be able to get everything installed in a day.

These are the wheels I am going with.



Or

Well, I bit the bullet and bought the Fuel Octane's with 33" Nitto Trail Grapplers. Should be a few weeks before I can throw them on as I am waiting on my levelling kit!
