Help - my new wheels dont fit

[brad28b]

Any easy way to check what ratios mine has?

Not really unless you open up the diff and count the gear/pinion teeth then you just divide them.

i.e. Pinion 12 teeth, Gear 45 teeth

45/12 = 3.75

But if you do that, you will have to refill your diff oil. Best bet is to get a build sheet from Jeep.

im running 17x9 4.5bs, 35's as well, not getting 2 inches sticking out, perhaps just about an inch, simple bit of rubber strip to keep em covered, still tidy looking, and if you keep the oem wheels/tyres then easy to swap back if u get picked up for them, which i doubt

my flares

Just put a line on the tailshaft and tyre.

Count the number of times the tailshaft turns to get one turn of the tyre - that's your ratio. Best to get someone else to push... much easier

4.1:1 Tailshaft turns to 1 Tyre turn.... then you ratio is 4.1:1

Simple... as long as you don't run over yourself

How did this turn out in the end? Any pics?

I ended up putting DBOR flat flares on it.

Pics attached.

I've always liked those DBOR flares.
