Default What should i do?

My jku has 34' nitto trail grappler on it.
It has only 6k miles. I bought 4.. So i don't have spare tire.

But i already want to go 35'. .. So i can't buy spare tire now..

So should i sell my 34' and buy 5 35'? Or just wait till time when i have to change? When i go off roading , i feel really uncomfortable cuz i don't have spare...

You're going to have those for a long time. I would sell them and get 5 35's

If you are sure you want to go to 35 then sell your other ones.

but a 34 spare and ride them out, lol you take the loss and sell the 4. I want 33's or 35's but someone is selling 5 oem 16's wheel and tires for $250, I'm tempted but I don't want to be stuck with the stockies for another 30K+ miles... I'm on a 2.5" lift and my stock 17s already look like golf balls.

I don't see the point. It's only 1" difference. It's like going from a 32" to 33". Go to 37's instead, especially on a JKU.

I'm running a 35x12.5x18 terra mud grappler on my 2 door and I still think they look like pizza cutters! I vote going to a 37 if you have the rubicon. Make your unlimited look monstrous!

Yeah cause instead of worrying about not have a spare when Offroad, you just have to worry about snapping an axle. Just something to think about when you start playing with bigger tires, but I also don't know how or what kinda wheelin you do.
