Wait, how do you get 100k out of a tire? I have 45k on my Nitto RG's and doubt they will last another 10k. Most I got was 75k out of a set of Duratrac's. I rotate and maintain psi religiously.Zinc bolts on black for the win. I think the back bolts would have been drowned out against the black rims. I’ve been looking at new tires and had been wanting to keep with my current 37/13.50/17 Exo Gapplers, since I have around 100k on mine. I am now questioning this. Curious how these wear.
I don't see why they wouldn't work.I know that the XD231 will work for the 2.5 Enforcer lift I'm going to run for a few years. But I still don't know if I going to get the 4.5 Enforcer or the 4.5 Fusion and I don't know if they will work with the Fusion
Sweet baby Jesus.
Yes, 3.5" will work great. You just gotta remember that LESS = tires pushed out of the fenders and MORE = tires pulled in. On a JT with the wider axles like you have, you can pretty much run as much as 5.5" and still be good but wheel selection is limited.Eddie. I’m all lost when it comes to backspacing. Would these exact specs be fine on say a JT with a standard coil lift? And are they going to be up on the amazon store??
AwesomeThe new wheel and tire combo looks great. Looking forward to hear your performance review of them.
Thanks! And, I think you'll like them a lotLooking good I think I'm gonna move up to this size next go around
Wow, 100k?? That's awesome! From what I've seen, these wear well as well and I look forward to putting them to the test.Zinc bolts on black for the win.

ThanksLove the new look... Perfect.
Thank youLooks great.
LOL - the fat sidewall and load range C make these tires feel super niceThat’s looks old school. Big fat sidewall.
LOL - thanksWell those look fucking awesome.
Good job syncing the beats. When do they release the trail in a 38?Let's face it, bigger is bigger, even if it's just by an inch. And, while a 37 has been a great, "go to" big tire size for a Jeep running factory axles, there's been a growing demand for something, just a little bigger. Fortunately, Nitto has been listening and as of today, they're now offering their ever popular Ridge Grapplers in a 38x12.50 and for a standard 17" wheel. That means, most any Jeep JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator owner can run them on their rig and without having to buy a new set of larger wheels.
As luck would have it, Nitto was nice enough to send Cindy and I a set of these awesome hybrid tires, ahead of the official release and for the purposes of testing and review. In this video, you'll get to see what they look like, how they measure up, how much they weigh and how to get them installed on a brand new set of KMC Tank Beadlock wheels.

Speaking of wheel backspacing, do you need 3.5 to clear EVO coil overs with the 69" width Rubicon axle. I know you couldn't with the 13.5 stt pros and 4.75 backspacing wheels but not sure what EVO recommends.I don't see why they wouldn't work.

As far as where to get the wheels go, these should be them on Amazon https://amzn.to/3lwQgP8
When I bought these, there were none available and ended up buying them through Off Road Evolution being that they had them in stock.
Awesome
With the Fusion being CO'S in the front and coil springs in the rear, since you still had to put spaces on with the 231's and 12.50's. I was just curious if I would have to get spaces also if I with the 4.5 fusion in a couple of yearsI don't see why they wouldn't work.

The Trail Grapplers were released at the same time. They will be coming in a 13.50 width though.Good job syncing the beats. When do they release the trail in a 38?
So, the problem with back spacing and EVO coilovers was specifically in regards to the JL. I'm not 100% sure on the JT but I think more would be okay. However, 3.5" is what EVO always recommends.Speaking of wheel backspacing, do you need 3.5 to clear EVO coil overs with the 69" width Rubicon axle.

I really do think the 38 is a perfect fit for a JL or even a JT or at least, in terms of a "big" tire on factory axles.This combo looks fantastic
Almost makes me want to sell my trail grapplers with Robby Gordon’s and get 38’s with tank wheels
38’s just right fit for a JL
On a JT Rubicon, I would say that you would need at least 3" of lift and that might still require some trimming of the fender liners. Remove them and it should work just fine.Okay, stock JT Rubicon. How much lift would one need to fit these cursed 38"s in and have room for mild stuffing?
Yeah, hard to say for sure without doing it.With the Fusion being CO'S in the front and coil springs in the rear, since you still had to put spaces on with the 231's and 12.50's. I was just curious if I would have to get spaces also if I with the 4.5 fusion in a couple of years
Have to trim or lose them anyway to run remote reservoir shocks whenever one can get some.On a JT Rubicon, I would say that you would need at least 3" of lift and that might still require some trimming of the fender liners. Remove them and it should work just fine.
Of course by then I may have a wild hair up my butt and put everything that you put on your JT plus do a motor swap. Then I would be getting new wheels anyway lolOn a JT Rubicon, I would say that you would need at least 3" of lift and that might still require some trimming of the fender liners.
