Tire Upgrade?
I want to upgrade rims and tires without a lift kit.
Can I put 18 in ROCKSTARS WITH 260/60R18 HANKOOK DYNAPRO ATM TIRES on my 07 JK Sarah without any problems?
They are roughly 32in high and 11.5in wide (about a inch higher and wider than existing tires).
Thanks

You shouldnt have any issues, I am running Eagle alloys 16's with 265/75/16 Toyos no issues. You should be good. If anything go a little bigger...that is if you have the cash.

Tires
I would get some 15 inch rims with 3.75 offset then get some 35 inch BFG KM2s at Sams Club for 195/each. Then re do your fenders to clear so you won't even need a lift kit. If you do this, make sure you get your weight of the 15 inch rims to be No More Than 20 Pounds each Rim.... Check Tire rack, I copied the rim for you, it's even 19 Pounds!!! But the Bolt Pattern needs to be 5 on 5 not 5-139. keep looking...

Thanks!
Thanks for the tips!
The tires I was considering are avail on craigslist in Mpls...
h ttp://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/for/1670097625.html
After checking them out in person they were actually smaller than my stock tires and the 4.75 bolt pattern wouldn't fit without spacers. Great deal though!
I'm going to keep looking.
