actually, narrow tires do pretty good in the snow. they get sown to the hard surface better...

I found out that i was wrong on the height of mine, I only have a 2.5" so I am definite going with 285s or 33x12.5. I am keeping the stock Rubi wheels and having them powder coated black here is a pic of one that I painted. I've decided to go with matte black instead of flat like in the picture. I dont do a ton of hardcore wheelin so I want to get them right

Thanks. My 12.50's won't fit on the carrier with the stock bracket and I am leery of putting a spacer in. It probably works well for many but I just don't want to put the added stress on the gate. My back bumper/carrier has been on back order for three weeks so I am still running the stock spare on the back.

As a FYI I have the my 33 on the stock spare mount and i have had no troubles. However I will note I had the chance to weigh the orginal brand new rim and Tire of a jk rubicon and then I weighed my new 33s with the new rims and I was 5.8 lbs heavier than stock so I doubt it would cause troube if there was 5.8 lbs on the stock carrier.
