Jeep Trademark Advertisement

Classic Jeep Trademark advertisement from 1973. It reads:

"Jeep® is spelled with an "R"

We started spelling it that way back in 1950 when we registered the Jeep® name with the U.S. Patent Office. From that moment on, Jeep® has been spelled with an R.

Other manufacturers make sport utility vehicles, but they are not Jeep® Vehicles. The fact of the matter is there is only one brand of vehicle that can rightfully and lawfully be called a Jeep® and this is a vehicle made by Jeep Corporation, a subsidiary of American Motors Corporation.

We earned our name the hard way; over the roughest roads and through a few bi wars so we'd appreciate it if you wouldn't call anyone else by our name--it's a hell of a way to treat a veteran."

33's On Jeep Jk With Lift And Without Lift

Jeep Wranglers come stock with 3 different tire sizes depeding on what model, trim, or options your jeep has:
1. 225/75/16 (29”x9”)
2. 255/75/17 (32”x10”)
3. 255/70/18 (32”x10”).
The largest tire you can fit without a chance of problems on the street is a 33x10 tire (also called a “pizza cutter”). An example is the 255/80/17 BFG KM2. Because this tire is the same width as most stock JK tires, there is no issue on road, despite the larger diameter. You can run this size without issue.

On Jeep Jk you can use your stock wheels and put on up to a LT275/70R18 (33's) size tires all around with no lift or wheel spacers. You will have a little rubbing when turning full lock. To fix this you can do a few things as:
  • Put on a small lift kit (1" to 2" body lift or coil spacers)
  • Put on a wheel spacers (hub centric) so you have less backspacing
  • Put on new wheels with less backspacing
  • Or a simple fix is washers on the steering stops, which will also give you a little less turning radius, but stops the rubbing.
Stock JK wheels have 6.25" backspacing, which is why the wheels are so tight on the Jeep. Generally, for aftermarket wheels you want 5" to 4.5" bs or less. The smaller the number, the farther your wheels will stick out from the Jeep.

Not: If you are going off roading using stock wheels and 33's you need to add wheel spacers, or new wheels, or get a small lift or you will break your fenders on heavy flexing. You should avoid spacers when possible, replacement aftermarket wheels with 4.5 inch backspacing will be the exact same as adding 1.5 inch wheel spacers to a stock jeep wrangler. This will give you the "wide stance look".




2012 flame red wrangler with 33 inch BFG A/T tires on 16 x 8 black wheels, with 2 inch Daystar spacer lift. Very nice lift /tires for all around daily use.





2012 jeep wrangler with 2 inch spacer lift, 285/70/17 (33's) Nitto Grapplers and polished wheels.



2008, no lift, with BF Goodrich 315/70R17 All Terrains, plus 1.5 inch wheel spacers.
I had to trim the the plastic air dam up front, but that was a simple matter. It rides nice and road noise from the tires is minimal.
According to my GPS, the speedometer reads about 2-3 mph less than actual at highway speeds. Photo from JKowners.com

 
2012 jeep wrangler with Zone 2 inch coil spacer lift, Nitto Terra Grappler 285/70R17 tires and Moto Metal 951 Black 17x9 wheels 5 on 5 -12. Very Nice!





Here is a Wrangler Sport with No Lift and 33's tires, but has aftermarket wheels.



Here another persons JK 275/70/18 duratracs, stock suspension, no spacers. I get rubbing at full lock. Keep meaning to adjust the steering stops, but I've only rubbed once on a tight turn into a parking spot in the past few months. Will get get some spidertrax wheel spacers and a leveling kit soon.









The above 4 photo's are a 2012 stock Jeep Wrangler with aftermarket wheels and 33's Mickey Thompson Tires.


This white 2013 Jeep Wrangler has a 2 inch lift and 35 inch tires.

This Gecko Green Jeep Wrangler has a 2 ich lift and 33 inch tires.


This 4dr Gecko Green Jeep Wrangler has a 2 inch lift and 33 inch tires.




This 2012 Black Jeep Wrangler has a 3 inch lift and 35 inch tires.



This Green Jeep Rubicon has a 21/2 inch lift and 33 inch tires.


This 2012 Black Jeep Wrangler has a 3 inch lift and 35 inch tires.



I thought I would show a few Jeep wrangler JK's with a lift and 35's so you can see what that would look like also. This JK has a 3 inch lift and is running 35 inch tires. Since the tires buldge out quite a lot, I believe the tires are on stock wheels. This set up is for a little more serious off road use, but still looks great on the street.

2013 Jeep Wrangler Overview

 Two door Jeep Wranglers come in either Sport trim, Sahara trim or Rubicon trim with standard fourwheel drive. A new 285-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine and six-speed manual transmission are standard, optional five-speed automatic is available. Electronic stability control with roll control, traction control, brake assist and hill hold control is now standard on all Jeep Wranglers. The Sahara trim offers body color flares, Infinity speakers, remote keyless entry, power windows, security alarm and 18-inch wheels and tires. The Rubicon features equipment that the off-road enthusiasts usually add anyway, which includ heavy duty axles, front and rear electronic locking differentials, 32-inch BF Goodrich mud tires, sway bar with disconnect system, rock rails and a heavy duty transfer case with 4:1 low-gear ratio to top it off.

The now available Freedom Top (Hard Top) which is now a three-piece hardtop that will now allow the panels to be removed above the drivers or passengers side of vehicle. Other options include Dual Top Group, half doors, remote start system, front seat-mounted side air bags, and a multimedia infotainment system that comes with a 28-gigabyte hard drive and navigation system.The interior is still designed to withstand good abuse, and can even be hosed out on the models with cloth seats.

Also new for 2013 is trailer sway damping that is now standard equipment on all trims, and Sahara and Rubicon also receive new wheels and an auto dimming rear view mirror.
Fuel economy is rated at 17/21 mpg regardless of transmission for the two-door Wrangler. Trailer towing is capped at 2,000 lbs.

The suspension for the Wrangler is a five-link coil setup with tuned shock absorbers. This setup works with Dana 30 front and next-generation heavy-duty Dana 44 rear axles. The Wrangler Rubicon model uses heavy-duty front and rear Dana 44 axles.Underbody protection is provided by three strong skid plates, which protect the fuel tank, transfer case and automatic transmission oil pan.


A photo of a lucky persons new 2013 Jeep Rubicon in Crush color, note the new wheels for 2013 models.


Here is a photo of a 2013 Jeep Wranger in True Blue (photo from carlot.com) Looks like it has some upgrades as bigger tires, different wheels, and poss lifted.

Here is photo of 2013 4 door unlimited Jeep Wrangler from (project-JK.com) in the new color Rock Lobster, kind of a bright red/orange mix. I love the color, it looks cartoonish and will really standout on the street.


See a 2012 JK Wrangler Orange Crush color with 37's (Tires) on it. What a difference, the whole stance of the jeep changes, very good look. You could do exactly the same with a 2013 jeep JK.
