Hey everyone,

I am fairly new to off-roading and looking to explore some beginner--friendly trails around Delaware. I recently got my first Jeep and am excited to hit the trails.., but I want to start off with something manageable to build my skills.

Can anyone recommend good spots in the area for a newbie: ?? I am looking for trails that offer a mix of scenic views and some mild challenges but nothing too extreme.

Any tips on what to bring or watch out for as a beginner would also be appreciated...!

Thanks in advance for your advice--can't wait to get out there and start exploring with the community.

David

Right now I've got Mickey Thompson rims and Bridgestone ATs 315/70R17. I don't really like the look of the rims and wanted different tires also. The current tires also look a bit stuffed under the lift and I'd like a little bit more space between the tires and fenders

My TJ had 33x10.5 BFG MTs on stock rims. I really liked the look because the tires didn't stick out as much. I'm wondering if I can do something similar with 34x10.5's BFG ATs. Will they fit on stock JK rims? Anyone have a setup with 34x10.5 and have any good or bad experiences with that setup? The JK is lifted to clear the tires but wondering about steering on stock rims with the backspacing.

Also open to any metric size suggestions that is close to 34s but narrow.

Thanks!

Hi,

You can fit 34x10.5 tires on stock JK rims,, but they might rub on the steering components due to the narrower backspacing... For a similar look to your old setup, consider 285/75R17 tires; which are close in size and narrower. This setup should provide more space under the lift and reduce the stick-out.

Thanks
