Switch to 35's now or buy wheels?

[jorgelrod]

I'm running 33's and want one move to 35's I'm unsure on whether to move to 35's with the current OEM wheels or put my current tires on new wheels and buy new tires in about 6 months. This is what my tires look right now, I'd say about 60% worn...

I think you should get the 35s and use your stock wheels, then mount them on your new wheels when you get them. Are you getting beadlocks?

No, I've been looking at the AEV Salta wheels. I really love the look

Keep in mind if you purchase tires now and want to use them on your next wheels it locks you into a 18" wheel

Why do you say that? His profile says he has 17" wheels.

 

[jorgelrod]

I'm running 17" stock wheels and the Salta are 17" as well

The only stock wheels that are 18" are the sahara wheels. Those are not wheels from a sahara model, they are 17"

 

[TrainWreck618]

I didn't look at his profile, but they look like stock ones I had that are 18". Didn't realize the Sahara's were different

Either way, id get 35s now. Theyre fine on stock wheels and you can always swap them on to new wheels

Agreed. If you can swap, do it now

My Sahara came with 17s stock with 18s as an option..

So it sounds like you're okay with waiting a bit for the 35's? Is there a reason you don't want to run what you have for the time being and do 35's AND new wheels in 6 months? That would save you some coin and mounting and balancing.

Because the wife will probably find some other use for that money somewhere around the house :cheesy::cheesy::cheesy:

if you do go 35s on factory wheels dont forget about wheel spacers...

 

[catahoula]
