For some reason I like slight stretch on 18s. Not much, but 245 and 255 on 9.5 just work for me.

Will also be picking up 255/40 RS3s for the 17" set of RPFs, can't beat them at $125 each. Is that a regular price? Are they just incredibly well priced in that size?


Also finished suspension on the jeep today. Now on 4.5" lift, all custom control arms, and 33" BFG muds. Tough as nails look. And way more solid than the previous spring setup. Difference between 25% 31s and 75% 33s is substantial.
Good tire choices. I have the Federals on the FXT, and for cheap, black, round tires that hold up the car, they're great. Don't get caught in snow or slush on them though. You've got that covered with the Jeep obviously...
