Jeep Wrangler R/T, Pro-Touring Lite

Any plans to add more tire? 17x11's can easily hold 315s' and 17x9.5's mount 275's like a dream.

Very different project idea. Looking forward to reading more about it.

I went with the narrower 245's and 275's to keep the sidewalls from flexing so much, though there is plenty of room to go with larger sizes. Getting the rear suspension sorted out pretty much trashed the Kuhmo's, (lots of oversteer initally) so I picked up a couple pairs of HankooK RSS in the same 275 width that I am going to try out next. I am hoping they are better in the wet than the Kumho's.



Originally the plan was to install a Vortec all alluminum 5.3, and may still do that, but for now the weight balance is near perfect with the 2.5. Might put a turbo on the 4 banger just for grins.

I am playing with suspension setups and comfort modifications in preparation for a road trip to Southern California in a few weeks. Can't wait to see the reaction this thing gets while cruizing Malibu and the Mullholland Highway!
