I'm pretty much the same. I reckon a 32" tyre on a 2-4" lifted WJ/WG looks awesome. I was going to fit mine at any cost, but luckily it only required minor trimming

Thanks Snow... and is there any rubbing on the back shocks or front suspension. Did you get them from WheelBoyz?
Cheers
Chumby

Hey Chumby no rubbing on any factory part, not even close.
I have custom front LCA which are straight, not bent like the factory jobs, at full lock under suspension travel I just touch them, slight paint rub.
I bought them wheels and tyres together $400 ea x5 of a dude in WA with 8k on em..
Want me to find out where he got em? He sold these to buy the EXACT same but in black - go figure...
Chrome look heaps better.
My speedo is 8% out with this tyre...

Got the lift installed today. Went a 2" lift with Lovells springs and Procomp shocks. Interestingly I ended up with a 65mm increase in height. I'm guessing the additional height came because the jeep is an overland and they are lower from factory?
I have also decided to go with Mickey Thompson 245/70 R17 (they're on order). These should give me an additional 20mm lift from my existing 235/65/17's. This 20mm combined with the 2" lift should give me a total of 85mm - plenty!
I have a brand new Goodyear Wrangler spare which will be replaced with a Mickey Thompson. Is it worth anything or should I just give it to the tyre shop?
cheers.

Hey gj0424,
Yeah sell it on ebay - worth getting your money back on that spare.
Expect your lift to settle a good 10-20% - Mine settled down quite a bit from the monster truck got back after the original install. Good luck

If the tyre is 20mm larger diameter ,you only get half that in lift height ,so youll get 75mm total.
