32" is an upgrade I do beleive on an X but you'll be hard pressed to find a dealer not already having the upgrade on the jeep.

Wierd, i bought mine used and had aftermarket 32's (265/75/16's) and my speedo is off by about 10% with 4.10's. Which leads me to believe that originally it had a smaller tire, otherwise the it shouldn't be off that much

You bought it used with the aftermarket tires on it?


I think it's illegal to sell a vehicle with a modified odometer... which would be the case with the upgraded tires. Go back and get a flash done.

x2.

There are lots of JKX with 3.21 and 32" tires. It seems that if you purchased the 'S' package, 17" wheels were included.
