I just put 33x12.5 tires and black Pro Comp 17x9 Raven wheels with a -6 offset and 4.75 backspacing and I'm super happy with how my Jeep looks, and no rubbing! great video! Jeep looks great
I noticed that your on the right side driving. I'm in Tennessee and I've got a 2013 jeep wrangler sport 2 door softtop and I've had it for almost 4 months now and love it. I'm getting ready to put a set of 285 70 16 AT tires and a winch very soon.
Hey Ben, thanks for doing this video as I plan to do a similar setup on my 2010. Have a 2019 too but am going to leave it alone. I also have an Outback w Motegi Racing wheel w K02 tires. Love the BFGs!
I’m not sure on the 392 wheel specs Sam, so it would come down to their offset size. The tyres should likely be ok depending on that. I’m not a fan of wheel spacers but yes they would give you added distance. Cheers
Have you managed to find some good aftermarket lights for this 2018 jk? I have the same one as you and the STEDI LED conversion apparently aren't suited for these.
hey mate, assume you're Aussie then! In short yes I have. And I also discovered the issue with STEDI for the 2018 JK's - I called and emailed them and they insisted they wouldn't fit and while I didn't buy them I still have a quiet confidence that they would fit fine.. Anyways... I ended up buying JW Speaker headlights (yes they're expensive).. The headlights are amazing, but if you consider them here are 2 things you need to know as an Aussie - 1) Aus versions are not quite 'plug and play', you'll need to do some basic wiring to get your parkers and DRL's running (a 1 hour or less job for an auto elec if you're not confidence yourself). and 2) You need to buy the Aussie spec ones which are suited to right hand drive cars. Hope that helps, cheers.
Did you end up adding wider flares just concernd about Qld legal width limit . I'm going to put 33 on a tj and 2 inch lift so should be equivalent to a tk stock
This is the stock standard bumper that comes with your Jeep in Australia! You could probably find one for like less than $50, shipping might sting assuming you’re in another country.
We don’t get the luxury of cruising at those speeds at Australia for the most part 60-65mph at the most here. But for the most part I’d say it’s not much worse than stock. Maybe 400-450ish kilometres per refill. Hope that helps, cheers
Hi Ellen, I have all the relevant info in the written description of this video, but here are the wheel specs: Pro Comp Series 34 Rockwell Wheels - 17x8.5", 0 Offset. Cheers! 😃
Technically it would, but with this size we don’t notice a difference really, very very small. We keep up the same pace with traffic and have never been caught by a speed camera (which are everywhere and very strict in Australia). It’s pretty much business as usual. Hope that helps.
Stock wheels should fit them, but there's a much higher chance of rubbing issues (eg, on sway bar) as the stock wheels sit much further inside the wheel wells. Its also a great excuse to justify aftermarket wheels :)
@@xw8462 Nope the spare tyre mount is fine too. You will notice once you do it, that there are 2 rubber mounts that stick out and touch nothing from the back of the mount (that are intended to put pressure on the stock tyre to vibration) These will no longer touch your tyre with aftermarket wheels because the offset is much lower (so like how the wheels stick out further from the car), so you do need to take note the extra vibration and weight of the tyre on the spare tyre mount. You are certainly not increasing its longevity. I never replaced these rubber mounts in my old JK (not this white one) and never had a problem over the years I owned it. It probably depends on how much off-roading you're doing. But you can buy replacement rubber supports that are longer and are not too expensive. Or, if in the unlikely event something eventually goes wrong, its a good excuse to upgrade to an aftermarket spare tyre mount, or maybe a new rear bar too :)
@@johnandrade377 Hey John, so the trick to avoid this tire size rubbing is the aftermarket wheels, the have a much lower offset, so they stick further out from the vehicle, which means where the stock wheels would rub, these have a little more space for clearance. Hope that helps, cheers
@@2asianguys667 I don't want to guarantee it because I dont have a JL but i dont think it will rub. The JL has a larger fender gap/wheel well, and the JL-Rubicon in some countries (like USA) come with the same 285/70/17 tires as standard. So im very confident they will fit, especially if you're fitting aftermarket wheels. But always chat with your wheel/tire shop!
this video answered some question i've been searching in forums for a while!!
Wheels, tires, & lift… the trifecta. It’s the holy trinity.
Haha yep! She's been lifted now too, no video yet though!
@@BenCad what size lift did you get ?
I just put 33x12.5 tires and black Pro Comp 17x9 Raven wheels with a -6 offset and 4.75 backspacing and I'm super happy with how my Jeep looks, and no rubbing! great video! Jeep looks great
Thanks Shane, glad your build has gone well!
Just found this video. Very well done, clear and concise. Really transform the look of the sport.
Thanks for the feedback Richie!

Very cool! Hope your build goes well!
bro the sticking out looks sick keep it like that eveyone wants it look like that
100% love the stance of it too :)
Your commentary has really helped. Thank you.
Hey Todd, thanks for the feedback - glad you found it helpful! Cheers
@@BenCad I've been considering 33s on stock 2016 wheels with spacers but no lift
@@BenCad welcome
Thanks for the video! Well done. Your rig looks great. Thinking of doing the same with mine!
Thanks mate, hope your build goes well!
Lift kit now fitted also :) th-cam.com/video/VGuPW2Ocp3U/w-d-xo.html

Nice Eric! BFG’s are good! Hope the setup goes well for your 2010! Cheers
Willys light, looks great!
How much air PSI you have kept for highways driving ?
Just bought a 2016 jk willys looking at adding 392 rubicon wheels and tires. 285/70/17. Recommend a 1”wheel spacers?
I’m not sure on the 392 wheel specs Sam, so it would come down to their offset size. The tyres should likely be ok depending on that. I’m not a fan of wheel spacers but yes they would give you added distance. Cheers
I just bought 392 Rubicon wheels and tires. Have you mounted them?
@@billhurley4434 yes I have. On a 2016 jk. With 1.5 wheel spacers. Fit perfect.
@@SRTbirdman can you post some pictures online? I have a 15 JK and planning tomget the 392 wheels as well.
@@anniemilktea2794 yeah you have Facebook?
Nice video and info. Great intro editing
Thanks for feedback mate :) cheers!
I have 33x12.5r20 and I haven’t mounted them yet but I think I’m gonna need to life it. Please someone let me know

@@BenCad this definitely helps a bunch!

Not yet - haven’t had an issue here so far. It’s very minor compared to a lot of other 4x4s on the road.
@@BenCad thanks
I want to get your bumper on this JK…where can I get one?
This is the stock standard bumper that comes with your Jeep in Australia! You could probably find one for like less than $50, shipping might sting assuming you’re in another country.
Did you have to buy hub centric spacers for those rims?
No spacers :)
Okay. Jeep looks good. Thanks for the reply.
Love these vids!!
Hey Cheers Matt!
So a zero offset means "No offset" ?
What MPGs do you get with those tires driving at 75mph?
We don’t get the luxury of cruising at those speeds at Australia for the most part 60-65mph at the most here. But for the most part I’d say it’s not much worse than stock. Maybe 400-450ish kilometres per refill. Hope that helps, cheers
Hello there. What are the dimensions of your wheel?
Hi Ellen, I have all the relevant info in the written description of this video, but here are the wheel specs: Pro Comp Series 34 Rockwell Wheels - 17x8.5", 0 Offset. Cheers! 😃
Was your speedometer off a little bit if not that would be great
Technically it would, but with this size we don’t notice a difference really, very very small. We keep up the same pace with traffic and have never been caught by a speed camera (which are everywhere and very strict in Australia). It’s pretty much business as usual. Hope that helps.
Do tires make extra noice going 60mph+?
A little but nothing substantially different in my opinion. Wind noise still wins.
Yo bro, have you change the ring&pinion, is it ok to keep the original gears?
Haven't done either, Jeeps been fine so far. This is my second JK and it was fine in the other also. Hope that helps!
How much they costed for set of 5?
hey mate, its been a while but was around $3.5k Aussie dollars.
the stock wheel can't fit this tyre?
Stock wheels should fit them, but there's a much higher chance of rubbing issues (eg, on sway bar) as the stock wheels sit much further inside the wheel wells. Its also a great excuse to justify aftermarket wheels :)
@@BenCad thx. how about spare tyre mount? you need to upgrade that too?
@@xw8462 Nope the spare tyre mount is fine too.

Your steering wheel is on the wrong side!😬😬
Ha yep! We do things different on this side of the world haha! Sadly means we do miss out on some cool cars like the 392 wrangler, Ford Bronco etc
prolly could have done with out the crap music...

Does this tires fit on stock JL height
