I'm new the the Jeep world just got my first one a few weeks ago. It's a 2013 Sahara wrangler unlimited. I just got a rough country 2.5 lift. Couldn't go to high due to a new born baby boy and the wife moving him in and out. I looked at new wheels and tire but for now we are going to keep the factory 18's and get some nice meaty tires. I know wheel spacers will prob be a must just wanting to know what you guys think. What is a good size tire that will give it that bad boy look and perform well off road but not to loud for the wife and baby. (Who knows he might sleep more with a good noisy tire!!!)

 

Lots of guys go with 35x12.5 on the stock wheels, as long as you use 1.5" wheel spacers, such as spidertrax. Goodyear duractracs get a lot of good reviews here. Use the search function and you'll find lots of good info, opinions, and pics. Congrats on the new ride and new baby

 

With the higher cost of 18" tires and wheel spacers you might not be too far from a set of aftermarket wheels.

 

I agree. You can always sell the one on your Sahara. Tires would be less expensive if you were to change your wheel to a different size. Say 15's or 17's?

 

So will the 15's fit? Wasn't sure if they would fit due to size of caliper and rotors? I like more tire so if that's the case ill prob go that way

 

You might have to search for threads on 15" wheels. Some forum members state the have to grind down some of the calipers for wheels to fit. There are some brands out there that do fit without any modificatons. Sorry not sure on brands.

 

I got ya ill look into it for sure thanks for the help!

 

HAs anyone added 1" spacers to a 2.5" lift? If so does it affect ride or performance and any suggestions on brand?

 

You can, but you're getting at a height where you need more than what comes with a typical 2.5" lift kit.

 

Have you thought about a 1" body lift?
