Fresh shoes too! Nice. So, if my working is correct, with a with a 3.75 back space it should stick out an inch or so more than that?

These factory rims are 5.25 back spaced factory- 4.25 with the spacer to insure not having any scrubbing while turning and not so far to tuck inside the flare when articulating. 3.75 should just be a 1/2 “ more out. It may/may not run the flare when off road.

31x10.5-r15 on 3.75" BS rim and factory non-Rubicon/Sahara fender flares. ~1.5" of tread outside the flares.

Great description. Thank you.

This is a nice photo for anyone not wanting to evaluate the wheels, tires, and inner fenders.

 

[MikekiM]

How does it drive on the road day to day? That's my use too.

Drove it with those wheels for years and zero complaints.

This year switched an 8.5 wheel

Are you using wheel spacers with this set up? If so what size?

No spacers.
15x8.5" w/ 4.75" backspacing on that wheel if I recall.

Not exactly the request, but 3" JKS springs and 33x12.50r15 on factory ravine wheels, with 1.5" spacers. No rub. Probably going to 1" spacers if I find a cheap set.

Also, @MikekiM still has one of the cleanest rides on here. I drool every time I see that thing.

 

[Rickstar321]

15" Steelies with 35" Nexen Rodian MTX's... 2-21/2 OME coils, 5" rear stretch I've still got to adjust my rear fenders for.
(I'm cheating a little bit with the highlines though). Also stock Gladiator control arms... an experiment I'm doing.

Damn, that looks awesome. Everything about that TJ just works.

Tell us more about his 'hard bikini top' setup...
I can guess that the front is probably secured via the standard latches, and it appears the top was modified along the seams to provide this shape, but how is the rear of the top secured to the roll bar?

BTW, I love that it still includes drip rails over the 'doors', and that rear 'overhang' must really help w/ minimizing debris (and rain?) from covering the back seat & cargo area.
