Anyone done this? Only temporary until i get the lift in a month or so, but i just can't wait to get my new tires on. Thanx Wayne! Getting the rims tomorrow and, if all goes as planned, i'll be able to mount them tomorrow night. if not then, Friday.... Anyway, anyone done this? i don't plan on offroading til the lift, and was wondering, if i keep the sway bar connected if i will be okay? I got the cheap black steelies with 4" backspacing? Hopefully i'll have pictures. It'll look good. As you can see i'm pumped.

why would you want to sacrifice the little flex that your stocker has to fit big meats? That will make it worse offroad, unless its just for looks and you have no intentions in using it Theres nothing like being stuck going down hill because you have both drive wheels stuffed so hard in the fenders that you cant move with open diffs  |

I an with him. But I know you go off road so.... spend the $200 on a BDS Budget Boost, and run those 32's with confidence!

You'll be fine for a month or two.
Do you really care if the tires rub the fender flares if you hit a big enough bump?
Heh. Didn't think SO.
DO IT.

I would say dont do it. I had 31" on my YJ for like 6 months with a 1" shackle lift every bump I hit rubbed the flares and they look like sh** now. Don't do it. Its only a month why waste money on having to get new flares later.

Its only a month why waste money on having to get new flares later. YJ's are a bit of a different animal... A TJ can fit AND 'wheel with 31's just fine. An extra 1/2" at the top of the tire isn't going to hurt anything. |

I only want to run them cause i can't wait to get them on. Picture something you really want.... do you think you'd let it sit for a month in the garage or would you mount it and just deal with alittle rub for a bit. If the rubbing happens to be too bad then i always have my other wheels ready to go back on. I got 2 full sets now, rims and all. I'll have them mounted tomorrow morning, it's sittin' a the local shop right now. I'll try to get some pics up by this weekend. Thanx for all the advice.

Do it! On my 99 TJ I ran my cragars with 4" backspacing and my 32" muds with no rub at all! Even over speedbumps! Don't plan on offroading, but it was worth the wait for the lift, are you intrested in OME?

Yeah i guess i did walk into that..... ;D
Got them "mounted" this morning and there's no "rubbing" yet! My backroad/driveway is nice and bumpy and i haven't heard anything bad. The guy that put them on tried to talk me out of it because "you could break a control arm, and then it will cost you double. The tires are also an inch from the swaybar, you don't want to break that". I like the place, just not that guy. He thought he knew everything about my jeep. I told him just to do it, and i'll suffer with the consequences later. They look awesome i'll get some pics up tomorrow when there's some daylight out. Now i can't wait for the lift!
