Ive been reading this thread and I am interested in some tires and wheels. I understand I dont need spacers with the 19mm offset. Does this also eliminate the need for spacers due to a steering flip kit? I installed an AEV steering flip and had to put spacers on my stock rubicon rims to clear the drag link that now mounts on top of the knuckle.

I am interested in Level 8 Punch wheels and 35" tires. Was looking at the Dunlop Mud Terrains. I want all 5 tires and wheels. Before I purchase I want to make sure they will work with that steering flip.

Thanks
The 15x8 ET-19 (3.75" BS) Level 8 Punch should clear the steering flip kit without issue. Compared to where the factory wheels with 1.5" wheel spacers sit now, the 15x8 ET-19 Punch will have 20mm more clearance to the inside. For even more clearance (31mm to the inside) you could go with the the 15x8 ET-30 (3.32" BS) Tracker. Replying to your email next.

For reference, here's how the 15x8 ET-19 and 15x8 ET-30 sit in relation to the steering flip.

(5) MB Razor and 35" BFG AT's ordered. Even gave me a break on the certificates which I might not have normally purchased.

Adrian processed my order and was great to deal with.
