Let us know if there is any rubbing or problems.

 

This will be the size I run as well, look forward to results

 

In for feedback and pictures!

 

I'll post up Thursday or Friday depending on my schedule.
Glad these are going on today since we are suppose to get an undetermined amount of snow tomorrow. Could be >1", could be 5"+

 

Staying factory height with the 225/65 will do great. Look forward to pictures

 

Im dieing to see pics of this and get some feedback on fitment,driveability,looks,and any problems associated with rubbing. Please inform us

 

Curious why you didnt get the 225/60/17 instead or did you consider them?. Too bad the tires dont have owl.

 

He probably wanted the additional height. 225/60/17 is barely taller than stock.

 

Mine being installed tomorrow.

 

You installing Geolander tires too ?

 

No, getting tires installed .... Kuhmos. For my size I have nearly no options, heck DiscountTire only offers a single brand (Nitto).

 

So I got the tires mounted up on Tuesday night. They also did a full alignment for me. I always do this when getting new tires on any of my cars/trucks.
The old, stock Wrangler SR-A (215/65/17) were so bad. I didn't realize how bad until they were off the Jeep.

I went with this size so I had a slightly larger tire than stock. I've done a lot of reading and looking around before I made my decision.

Wednesday I put on just about 200 miles on them.

They ride very nice, smooth and quiet. I was very impressed.
Out here in IL we got some snow but a lot of rain. They held the road so well. It was just like when I first bought it. I felt planted to the road once again.

As far as fitment, I have ZERO issues at all. No rubbing, scrapping, bumping or anything. This is at full lock, both ways. Going forwards or backwards. In 4x4 Lock and normal. Going over larger bumps or smaller ones. ZERO issues.



How they look is very nice as well. You can tell they are a bit wider just on how they look on the rim. It has that slight "bulge" look to them. It gives the Jeep a fairly nice stance now when looking at it.

I put on 3 pics, the first two are with the new tires, the third was when I first got it with the stock tires. I can get better ones later if requested.

 

They fill out the wheel wells a lot better. Do you have a picture of them looking down the side of the car by chance?

 

I'll get some later today.

 

Thanks! Just wondering how much wider they are than the stock tires. If the fill out the wheel well enough I'd consider getting these, and just getting my stock wheels painted.

 

Thank you for the updated pics. Perfect fit IMO!

 

Here are some side/back shots that you were looking for.

 

This is the thread I've been looking for. Do you notice much of a speedo difference?

Someone asked why you didn't go with the 225/60's, was there that much of a size difference?

Did you look at any other brand of tires in your 225/65 size?

Thanks for posting this thread, it's very informative for those of us who don't want to buy 15" or 16" rims and tires....just tires.

 

Cool thanks, those are exactly what I was looking for!

 

They look great. I am sitting around 31k miles and have been thinking about what tires I want when the time comes to replace. I don't like the idea of buying new rims so I have been keeping an eye out for these kinds of threads.

 

When the time comes to get new tires this is what I'm going with as well. They look great and fill the wheel well. It's a nice little 1.3" lift over stock without having to deal with rubbing, spacers, speedo way off, pinchweld mod...

 

You're only getting a .65 inch lift, but it fills the wheel well out much nicer.

 

215/60-17 = Circumference of 85.3.

235/65-17 = Circumference of 91.1

(Actual tires may very some.)

That's roughly a 7% increase in circumference. So if you recorded 255 miles, you really went 273 miles. Still a drop, but not as big of one.
