I got CareOne card approval. Guess my card will be here this week. Is there any kind of JK Forum discount or promotions? How should I order to keep costs down the most?

Since these MBs are only offered in 8.5" width, do you think they'll be too wide for my 265/75-16 tires? I'm afraid they'll look goofy. What do you all think? Still looking for a good clearcoated wheel, and the MB is nice but size options are limited.

If you think that you'll eventually run a tire that is larger than 35" (a 37" tire would fit your JK with your 3.5" of lift and some flat fenders) than I would recommend going with a new (wider) 17" wheel. There isn't a great selection of tires larger than 35" for 15" wheels.
If you think 35" tires is as large as you will go, 15's are a great option.

I have the 2" Mopar lift on my 2012 Rubicon and I'm thinking about MB72s, Chaos 5s, or American Eagle Bajas. Thinking about going to a 34" tire like a 305/75/R17 Goodyear Wrangler MTRs. Why is this size backordered?
Does anyone know if these tires going to rub when stuffed or when turning with the 2" lift. I understand that 33s won't but 35's will, so curious about 34s
