Hello All
Time has come for me to start making some modifications. Currently I am more budget minded than I would like to be. (But what Jeeper does not want more)
I will be installing the Teraflex 2.5 Budget boost on my 12 JK Sport and its really deciding about size tires & wheels. I know this opens a lot of opinions on preference but thought if anyone would lend their thoughts it would be appreciated.
1) Wheel Size
I carried 15x8 on my 2000 TJ with 35x12.5 Swampers for years. I really enjoyed it.
I know with the JK its more common to go with a 17". I am seeing a $50 savings per wheel if I go with the 15x8 vs 17x8.5
If its looks I would rather have less Wheel. Will performance really be affected?
2)Tire Size
I really want to jump the gun and put 35's on but its opening the door to much more. Re-Gear, beefing up the axel, Tire Carrier etc. I will eventually do this but I honestly dont know when. If I go 33's I am seeing about a $100 dollar difference in tires which would allow me to buy a spare right away too.
