Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / 4x4 Cars / April 200599 TJ - 35" Tires? Wheel size and lift suggestion?
Greetings, I just picked up a used 1999 Jeep Wrangler. It currently has 32" tires on it, but the tread is wearing thing and I will be in the market for new tires pretty soon. I want to purchase new tires and wheels and I am just looking for suggestions and comments to what this will entail. This car is my every-day rider, but I am going to be doing a decent amount of off-roading w/ it. I want to put on 35" tires. What does this entail as far as lift kits (is one required? which brands are good? does the lift kit have everything I will need? how much $ to have it installed or is it too difficult to do it yourself)? I want full articulation with the tires, so please let me know whatever is necessary. Also - can I get away with not having to put on a lift kit if I go with 33"'s? How does the lift kit affect driving performance and handling? I am new to the auto-modification world, so please chime in with your knowledge. Thanks in advance! -Adam The following might help a little: http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/truck.html Click on the "application guide" button.
