35s on Non-Sasquatch Badlands

[Tricky Dick]

315s on my standard BL. Crash bars came out, nothing else was needed.

I’m probably going 35s at some point in my Badlands but I’m going to wait till the tires are worn. If fuel cost don’t come down I’ll keep the 33s

Good call. The mileage hit sucked for me, I kind of wished I just swapped the KO2s onto the new wheels. The stock wheels had to go through, I hated them.

315/70/17 hits METAL fender in my NON sasquatch Badlands when flexed hard. I hear and see full contact when offroading. I have the RC level kit to go on. I think it will eliminate the rub. I take the fenders off because the tire would rip them off when wheeling hard.

35x12.5 and no rub on the UCA?

Any pictures of contact when flexed?

Believe the manual in the BL gets the same 4.7 that squatch gets

and has both front and rear locking diff...

+18 offset so I have gobs of room, more than sasquatch.

nice, and not too much poke then?

A little more than I prefer, about an 1" of tread and another 1" of sidewall. Thinking about getting sasquatch flares, they would be almost flush.

I pulled my wheel spacers last night. 3/4” clearance to Upper control arm.

badlands et55 wheels. Bead locked at 8.5-8.75 wide.

Drives so much better without the extra offset, I didn’t like how it tracked or handled with all the width. I really feel like it trashed the Ackerman or some other angle. The center of steering almost felt like it had 1/4 inch of dead space with the spacers on. It followed road deviations more with that extra 3” of width.

still need to get the RC level kit installed. Hopefully in the next week I have time.

Worth nothing……

Bead locking the wheels effectively alters the offset by changing the tires position on the wheel. They are now like ET 40s approximately.

Trying to find a good thread to ask this without starting a new one.

Has anyone put 35x12.5 on the STOCK badlands wheels on a non-squatch model? I may be the only person that likes the stock wheels. I have been considering:

Stock badlands wheels
Small wheel spacers to square things up better
35x12.5 hybrid tire of some sort (aka a truish 35 ... not a KO2 type 35)
Remove crash bars
MAYBE a small level kit, again just for looks and a tad more space.

Anyone running this? I'm pretty sure it will work, maybe rub when disconnected, which I'm not stressing. I prob won't wheel this. Keeping the jeep.

I may run this a bit and then if I get bored of the look, go aftermarket wheels and ditch the wheel spacers of course.

Now if anyone has a picture of this on a 2 door Carbonized Gray, you'll just be my hero

You could go with a narrower tire like the 35x10.5R17 Kenda or 35x11.5R17 Toyo and I think you’d be fine. @LHD is running the Kendas on +35mm wheels on his base.

I’d just rip the band aid off and get aftermarket wheels now.

Lift does not fix rubbing. Unless you change geometry or bump stops, the suspension cycle is the same.
