We Put 38s On Our 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon!

- HERE THEY ARE!
So last week, Kevin and I finally drove down to Texas to pick up our new tires and wheels! What did we get?!
Milestar Patagonia - 38x13.5R17
MB 352 Wheels - 17x9 with a -12 offset
So we did a LOT of research on 38s and on these tires specifically. And although there weren't very many reviews about them online, everything we could find was insanely positive. We were also able to confirm that fitment is pretty easy to achieve wit our current setup!
We took off all of the spacers (no longer necessary due to the new offset) and flipped the rear bumpstops on the RC 2.5" spacer lift. Just that alone makes it dang near perfect when fully flexed in the rear!
Side perk I didn't mention in this video, but will in the next - These tires have ZERO ROAD NOISE. And I mean nothing! They're more quiet than the tires on our Touareg, and it's mind-blowing. They also spin just fine and the Jeep doesn't struggle in the slightest to spin them. She's still got a ton of pep in her step!
We've got a video coming up soon where we'll be putting the tires to the ultimate test on the trail Holy Cross! But if anyone is interested in these, I highly recommend hitting up our friend Chris Olsen at the Discount Tire in Decatur, TX. All around awesome dude & fellow offroader, we wouldn't go anywhere else!
Stay tuned for the next video & don't forget to also follow my Instagram (@xlitebritex) to see more rad photos and videos of the Jeep along with all our other cars!
Hint - The tires are awesome enough to justify the broken windshield and not-speeding ticket. LOL - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I have this same tire in 38x13.50r17 on my JK. I love them. Super quiet, smooth on road, stay balanced, and work nicely offroad. A perfect balance of AT and MT.
I have never seen a women more exited about wheels and tires. I'm forwarding this vid to my wife.
Maybe she's a tire lovin kind of rim lovin kind of girl.
Yes she looks beautiful with the new tires!, and the Jeep looks pretty good too! LOL!
Still waiting for that real dirty Bikini Jeep wash video for Christmas lol!
Its actually "I'm going to share" not forward yes I'm that guy
I like the wheels! Your right, never heard of milestone tires, look forward to your review
These JL's are pretty awesome. Im more and more pleased with this model the more I see of it. Love the channel, keep it up!
The JL is coming along nicely, can’t wait to see the next video with you guys trying out the new tires 👍🏻
Looks great! Looking forward to seeing the flexing on the trail.
It fits it so well with the jeeps new wheels and tires I say it's just perfect👌
Looks very good on the new tires , nice video.
Love seeing you guys do different things with your Jeep. Showing everyone theres more options than nitto grapplers and K02s though there great tires. Your educating the free range market like myself, that is a little hesitant but also cost effective and efficient(TBD) who knows those 38s might be the new wave cause they do fit perfect!! Cant wait to see. Thanks!!!!
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I'm learning a lot and I enjoy watching your adventures. Thanks for sharing!
Looks good. Good luck on the windshield replacement. Been waiting a month for safelite to get one from the factory to replace mine.
tires and wheels look awsome!
Awesome tires and wheels!! Makes your Rubicon look Absolutely Awesome!!!
I see a larger lift in your future. Love you guys!
I have Milestar Patagonia on my F-350 4x4. Been riding on them about a year now and it’s time for some new ones. I would buy these again! I just want the next time to be for my new JT Jeep truck when they come out!!! Holy shiitake I can hardly contain myself.
I’m really enjoy your videos! Awesome content and production!
I remember one winter night I stopped in a church parking lot in Helmetta n.j. to remove and snow the cop asked me how long it would take and don't you think you look suspicious it was 11pm after my shift at work what do you think
Having fun going back through your old videos. Stepchild was so new.😊
Looking forward to see you test those wheels and tires
That looks SOOOOO good!!
Going back to watch this from April 2021 is eye opening! Kevin with longer hair on his head but none on his face! Brit's hair longer too. First time on 38"Milestars! Brit asks "What have we done?!" Stick around - y'all ain't seen nothin' yet! Just kids out beginning a great adventure! LiteBriteNationRecollection!
Wow.... freaking awesome tires.... just started watching your vids and I gotta say your jeep looks awesome in red (favorite color) and those tires just kill it man...Bad ass ride.... now I wanna buy a Jeep lol
How about that wheel selection! NICE!! Couldn't of chosen a nicer wheel and tire combo. But yes, the black lugs will make the difference. Sucks about the windshield though. Can't wait to see the next vid on those aired down and put to the test!
Nice set of wheels... I'm running Nitto Trail Grapplers 38s and never heard of the tires y'all picked up. I will definitely be getting me a set of those shoes put on my JK! Thanks for the Video!
Because they know you'll never drive all the way back to fight the ticket which is totally outrageous! the only thing you were impeding was them from getting to the donut shop! Please sense you guys go to Texas a lot please go back and fight a ticket just to piss them off! I think jealousy just reared its ugly head, Kind of like when I watch these videos LMAO!
2-1/2 " of lift for a 5" increase in tire size !? I'm impressed that the 38's didn't rub with only a small addition to the bump-stop - JL's must have a lot more room under their raised fenders! How's the flex on the trail?
Hey Lite Bright, I bought these same size tires d/t watching your videos and watching how well they performed. My question is, I have a 2016 2 door with a 4 inch lift. I have a full width rear bumper from Rampage and a tapered up Rampage front bumper. Do you think after disconnecting sway bar I'll rub the bumper(s) with full articulation?
Love your videos. I just ordered my JL in Sting Gray, as I could not find one with anywhere near the setup that I want. It’s going to take 8 - 10 weeks to get my rig & I’m amped; your content helps keep me excited for its arrival.
I’ll probably do a modest lift & 35s, but hope to see you on the trails, such a cool couple. Keep enjoying your Jeep & life!
I just ordered my JL in Bright White. I couldn't find one the way I wanted it either. How did you find out how long it would take. My dealership set mine to top priority. Hopefully it don't take 10 weeks.mine is totaled so I have no vehicle right now.
Glad to see someone else went with Milestar Patagonias. I have 37's on 17" Spyderlock wheels on my 2014 JK. OFFRD - the noise is not bad. Sounds kind of like a low pitched, distant swarm of bees. Honestly though, if you have your top down or doors off, you are not really going to notice. They were tricky to balance. I had a pretty bad shimmy at highway speed, but had them bead balanced by Joe's Tires in Clarksville, TN. Throw in a small bag of tiny glass beads, and they fly around inside the tire and balance it. Took out most of the wobble. I don't do a lot of high-speed highway driving, so good enough for me.
Harold Brock We may have gotten a good batch, ours balanced really well! And yeah the noise is much quieter than any other offroad tire we've had!
I immediately recognized HWY 287 when you showed the landscape through your window. I drive that hwy 3-5 times a year back and forth from Fort Worth on my way to various destinations in NM, AZ, UT, CO, CA, NV. And that view you showed is why I drive the heck out of Texas so often.
Jeep looks great!
looks incredible and god damn that music was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!
Looks great!!!!
The 38s look great on the JL. Even though I purchased a Honda. I still want a Jeep. I’ll work my way up. Then be part of the JL fam.
How did it affect vehicle operation and fuel mileage? I assume you had a gear change in your differential?
Hell of a long drive for tires, but I’m sure it was worth it. Very surprised that there aren’t any problems with fit inside the wheel wells. Ah, the cracked windshield. Had that happen on my XJ. It’s a Jeep thing.
Looks damn good!
Lookin good!
Hi Kevin, I have a 2018 JLRU with Mopar 2" lift. I want to get the 38" Milestar Patagonia on Pro Comp Rockwell Series 34 Wheel 17x8.5, offset 0 and BS 4.75. Do I need to do any modifications? Would it clear or should I stay with 37"?
I drive 98% freeway/city and 2% off road. This is my first jeep and new to off roading in Souther California.
That is one sick Jeep
Hey guys I finally subscribed...I had a 72 CJ -5 in my youth and I still remember tearing the rear pinion to shreds raising hell in the woods!! I had to sell it when I bought my house and I still miss that jeep!! Looking forward to future vids !!!!
So -12 is the right offset for these tires without rubbing at full lock flexed correct? I’m looking for wheels now and just making sure
That’s sick! Love those.
You are a very lucky man, and I’m not talking about the Jeep 😂 She seems like a wonderful lady.
What did you have on it before? I have 37 ridge grapplers on stock rubicon wheels (gladiator)
. wondering if 38's would fit on the stock wheels as well
Have you measured the height of the tires on the jeep? I'm curious what the true measurement is. The tires look nice.
How many miles do you have on the new 38's? And how are they wearing so far/ how many miles could you get out of them?
I haven't heard of these tires before, but they look great.👍👍 I'm shopping around for tires for my JK.
Nice setup! I just added 37x13.5s on my JLUR with 3.5" backspace wheels and a 2" suspension lift. Absolutely love it.
That ticket is total bull. I'd fight it but that's just me. I love y'alls videos. I have someone else to go through the growing pains for a new model wrangler with lol
Wish I could share a pic of my JL here 😆
Looks good, great price on those beadlockers
Tires look tough, but would you guys make video how your steering components holding up?
you guys are awesome.
What is the backspacing of those wheels? I know you put -12 offset with the name of wheel but when i look for backspacing of it all I can find is the offset. Also are you running any spacers?
Looks great! Cheers from Sweden
Do the rings come off? If so, you should definitely paint them red to match the Jeep.
I’ve already had two cracks in mine .... the windshields on the JL’s are cracking left and right
Hahahahahaha! The end is hilarious! Can’t make that up!
Love your videos Kevin and Brittany! Keep them coming! What gears are you running at the moment 4:10s? and are you planning on regearing in the future?
Lovely couple right there. She's so cute and he seems like a cool guy.
The Ice Spider Thank you!
Hi kevin and wife! I want you guys to tell me what you guys think about the cooper stt pro tires i want to by a good set of tires this uncoming weeken but im confuse about what tire tu buy! I have a jeep yj with 35s rigth now but is time for fresh meet! My jeep is my daily! Do you guys think the coopers are a great choice? I like the look! Of them or something us that is why i ask you before about the patagonia tires on the hwy please i need you guys opinion! Tks!
Kevin Williams hi kevin, tks you for help me out to take a desition with the tires! Yes i noticed after you guys put the new tires on the super red they made almost no noise at all, nice looking tire and the price is absolutely aforable i will go with the milestar patagonias end of the story. Tks kevin and wife you guys rock, your wife is very funny and a very very happy person, im realy happy for you! You guys keep up the super awesome videos i cant wait for the next one! Tks again☝
Firstly, I just found your channel and you guys are great, love the channel. Second, I just ordered a '19 Jeep Rubicon JL in Granite with all fixings they offer but an automatic and as soon as it arrives, the plan is it's getting a 4" lift and I'm looking for 38" rubber, which is how I found your channel!! So, I am going to check out these Milestar Tires now, so thanks for the post!! Now, with regards to your "ticket"??? OMFG!!! I just retired from a large S.O. after 30yrs in Law Enforcement after doing 10yrs in the Marines and I have to say this....I was NOT a "Tax Collector" for the gov't and wrote the least amount of tickets to people within my whole dept and I find that your "ticket" for Impeding the Flow of Traffic, ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS, nevermind the fact that it required 3 LEO's to accomplish that task. It's behaviour like that which causes some of the negative attitude that citizens have towards LEO's today. I loved my career and wouldn't of changed it for anything, but my time was better spent investigating real crimes, rather than that type of FBS!! Just my opinion of course and it means absolutely nothing, but I just needed to say something about it. I'm done now, other than I will say, you both handled it great!! I'm actually not sure that I would of been anywhere near as polite had Mike Pigg given me that ticket?? ;) Just sayin'...Lol...Anyway, thanks for the video and the tip on those tires, I appreciate it. I hope the tires have worked out well for you??
In this video, did you removed the plastic piece in the front from rock slider to make the 38’s fit ?
I'm wondering if I'll need to get those midrange bumpers... Not sure just yet. Everything will be installed mid June. I'm so excited. Keep up the awesome videos guys👍
Hi guys I wanted to know how are the tires holding up on treadwear, how many miles do you have on them, in looking for a set for my jeep as well, Thanks in advance!!!
Y'all went with 38s, good choice looks great!
Hey guys, tires look awesome quick question. I want to try those tires same size and all. I have a 2.5 Metalcloak game changer lift do you think it will handle them ok or would you suggest a coil exchange to 3.5 lift.
It’s been super fun watching your journey.
Thank you
The 38s look amazing on the JL
Did you feel any power loss with those 38s?
Seeing all these videos is great because I can get a really good idea what I can and can't run when I get a JLUR after college amd with the diesel engine too!!
Dawson Lane Good choice! Weve considered swapping to the diesel when it's released. We shall see!
Great video. Thank you for making it.
How is the drive on the highway with these tires?
Those look great! And too bad those wheels are discontinued, I really like them. Different from the typical black wheel or Jeep bro Fuel type wheel. I ran MB wheels on my old ZJ, I liked them a lot. Discount definitely has great products and service.
Also, your buddy's Jeep looks great! I love the color, that's the first time I've seen the "Sting Gray" other than the Jeep site. And obviously the lifted Jeep looks killer, but the stocker has a pretty damn good stance from the factory in itself.
Why not 40’s? They come under 40 also 39.8”...
Will the 2” mopar lift clear the 38’s patagonias? Without removing fenders?
Alex A. Because the 38s clear with the 2.5" Rough Country lift without having to mess with the fenders or go higher! 🙂
Wheels look Great.
Great video .. you guys should add more lift with 40's 😎
I like the new shoes! Get some adjustable bump stops and then your golden!
Lol I just had a road trip down to Austin last week and that’s one of the first things we did was get whataburger
Thank you for this vid, I subbed too. I wanted to know, if you had to change the gear ratio, or does the Rubicon compensate for it. I have a stock 2014 JK, my second Jk' but I didn't want to put just anything on my Jeep so I waited, Now I've found my tires, so thank You again. Oh, what type of lift-kit are you using, or recommend? We have a couple of Discount -Tires here in Virginia Beach
That's just small town police boosting the income stream of tickets. It's ridiculous.
should teach those cops a lesson by suing the hell outta them and getting them fired. those incompetent thugs are a waste of tax money
revenue whores.
Nice tires tuck up just right in the fenders. Sucks about the windshield. Ours got a big crack coming back from the grand canyon last month
Normally, I would say those tires are too big. But wow, do they look awesome! That new style Wrangler just begs for bigger tires. I had a TJ Wrangler. Every time I drove from Colorado to Texas I got a speeding ticket in a small Texas town. I had no idea that I could have gotten a "too slow" ticket?? They don't like CO plates!
When you put the 30 eights on did you have a lift or was that the stock lift that came with the Rubicon?
DAMN! those look great
Mike Pigg !! ID 101. Childress Texas. Lets make this guy famous.
Hey Keven And Brittany, I been following you guys for a while and have a JLURT in red like your. I need help with wheels.Can you confirm if you have 3.5 backspace or 4.5backspace?
Damm super red looks good!!!!
I never seen that tire they looks super! Please let us know how good they are on the road! Tks!
Are yall running stock axles? or dana 44 up front and dana 60 in the back?
Did you have to regear or do anything to the axle for these tires? I just got 35s on mine with the 2.5 lift but thinking of getting 38s with the tereflex 3.5 lift and suspension. Crazy that tire fit on the stock spare tire holder.
We didn’t regear for about 6 months after these tires were put on, but you do lose your 8th gear
What do you know about toyo open country m / t tires? why didn't you choose toyo 385 tires?
Do you have steering problems on the freeway with these pantagona 38”s. I have the same ones with the jlur and a 3-1/2 lift. Falcon steering stabilizer. Still is a little wishy washy on the highway. Any ideas?
Also did your speedo need recalibrated mine seems off
Not sure if it's already been asked but what tire pressure are you running for highway travel? I just got the same tires and I'm down to 25 psi and still seem to riding the center of the tires.
It will vary depending on weight and vehicle, but you won’t run full flat across these treads. A couple inches on either side shouldn’t be touching pavement
@@LiteBrite Thanks for the info! I was thinking the same especially since the center of the tires are shaped and designed the way they are. I was just concerned with tires being overinflated causing excess wear on the center of the tire.
So what’s the input on the tires now since you 2 have a few miles and wheeling trips on them??
So the tread wear look fine and how bout the lugs
Did you keep the original transmission / semi-axles? Thanks
The two of you handled the ticket well. If my wife didn’t have any green onboard I would have gave him shit. Rims and tires look great! Love the videos.
Looks GOOD!!...ur ll like me when I go get new tires....u got a ticket? Darn!
Still a great road trip !
I just bought a set of MB 352 wheels from my local Discount Tire. (Sorry not driving to TX). How are the Milestar Patagonis MTs holding up? How many miles so far? I'm going back and forth between another set of KO2s, MT2s or the Patagonia MTs. I know what I'm getting with the KO2s. I'd like a little more of a mud tire but I really don't want to give up the wear and road manners of the KO2s.
Rick Davis About 5k miles, and they’re still incredible both on and off-road b
Looks awesome on your jeep. Please let me know if you have to fortify the axles or drivetrain any.
Michael McMullen So far so good! They handled offroading AMAZINGLY
HEY I’m in Austin TX haha idk how far it is from where your at but that’s a hell of a drive ....
oh yeah it was ice and snow and i was in my tj with the soft top lol
Those tires are badass!
That windshield crack tho :(
Dude! those one of the best for rock crawling, driving in sand, mud, snow and that's all you need for your off-road adventures.
Wise choies and would definitely get those for my jeep.
HAHAHA this is my second vid with y'all and yes I am a Texan!!!!
I agree with the police doing greatness in the name of the law, but c'com.. 5 under in the right lane at 35? BOO. Difference with police and military is huge for my military family.. rules of engagement says it all. Y'all can tell Mike Pigg a big THANK YOU because I am hitting the sub button just for that alone. LOL. I am looking forward to getting my next vehicle as similar to your Rubicon but in that awesome green.
Thanks for keeping it real while in Texas. Love the wheels
Hi Kevin and Ms Lite Brite! Love the videos -great job driving and your spotter is a keeper! I've passed/posted your videos on to lots of friends. I'm about 2 steps behind you on the exact same rig... I have BFG AT 35's on stock rims now, decided it’s time to put the 2.5" RC lift in and 37's now since worked well for you. I'll probably go with the Milestars after I see your next video opinion. Probably gonna ditch the spare and put skidplates on also. If you have time I’d love to get your opinion on 3 things: 1) Curious if all the tires you've tried were the same price and size, would Milestars still be at the top of the list? 2) What are your thoughts on clearance with Patagonia 37's on stock rims for now with only a 1.5" spacer? (I'd like to keep them tucked under a little bit due to winter driving in WI). 3) I regretfully didn’t order the oem steel bumpers; I see you have your ears off the front bumper, do you think the ears would hit tires with 37’s and 2.5” lift? The reason I ask is I’d hate to buy a steel oem bumper and not be able to have those on for highway/deer hit protection, then I might as well just order an aftermarket mid or stubby bumper. We will be at Easter Moab 19, hope to run into you and say thanks!
Kevin Williams Thanks man! You should have seen the first draft... ha ha! Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. Have a great weekend!
Wheels and tires are almost as sexy as Kevin!!! Teeheehee! In all seriousness, they kick ass!
