[QUOTE="Steve@TF, post: 16422516, member: 40308"] they are 17x9 with with 4.5" backspacing and -12mm offset. this is necessary when running big tires and raising the jeep. it looks aggressive and widens the stance, but it also sprays crap all over the side of the vehicle all the time lol. if you want to keep it simple for your mum and still make it look good, do this: take off rubicon suspension to raise the jeep about an inch. make sure its 4 door/unlimited springs. this will retain great ride quality and shouldnt affect the warranty. you can get the rubi springs shocks anywhere from free to $200. also grab some Mopar lower control arms while youre at it. you can buy those for about $60 from Mopar parts. it corrects the caster. not absolutely necessary. i dont have them, though i would have added them had i know back then. get some nice rubi take off wheels/tires. you can get them pretty cheap anywhere but CA lol. ive seen them go CHEAP in other states. theyre 33" tires stock (great tires). they'll fit just fine on a stock sport/sahara but look better with the slight rubi lift. the 33s wont really affect mpg, gearing, acceleration etc... sport tires are 31.5" and sahara are about 32". the rubi BFGs are actually about 32.5" these mild simple mods will transform the look of the jeep and she'll love it. if she wants 20s, it might be tough to find a decent tire in 33". not even sure about 34". if you go 35", i would recommend just going right to the Rough Country 2.5" spacer lift. the rubicon suspension barely gives any gap between the fenders and adding both is huge. as you can see on the before and after pics on the black jeep i posted.
