Bro your content is proving me with knowledge about cars in general about also my own JGCL. For the last two days I’ve been looking at people keeps trying to understand what I’m looking bc I want mines to be just as sexy as theirs. Your content is saving me time and money and a headache. I didn’t even know what a spacer was! Thank you bro. I’m a new sub and can’t wait to see what you do next. Thank you again brother.

As a former tire technician, it angers me to no end that engineers of many different vehicle set the front end suspension up like that, with the spindle arm hanging over the tire. Not only does is make a lot of wheel / tire upgrades near impossible, but the component is also prone to breakage, when doing anything other than driving under 15mph off-road.

@@studiowishbone There sure is a solution! - Wheels with a more negative offset, coupled with quality wheel spacers. Then your tires stick out like skateboard wheels (which I really DON'T like that look on a lot of different vehicles, IF those vehicles run low-profile tires). There are also ways to reinforce the spindle and some even offer beefier aftermarket ones or components that weld-on to make them beefier. - For the '23 Grand Cherokee though, I wouldn't know?

I think that is probably engineered on purpose for this very reason. The EPA has a pretty tight grip on auto manufactures' balls.

With no lift you should look at the 275/65R18. You need 18” wheels minimum to clear the calipers. Tire will be a 32”x11”.

18” wrangler rims fit the WK2 Grand Cherokees with the HD brakes. I just traded my ‘14 GC for a ‘22 GC trail hawk 4xe and the brakes look like the same HD brakes. I haven’t tried my wrangler rims on it but they are .2” smaller than your 32.3” tire so it should fit and I also have air ride so I can just raise it up when I need to turn lol wish this video was made when I was looking into adding wrangler rims/tires

Hey, I love your video. It's the best I've seen so far on showing exactly how the combos affect poke and clearance. I'm wondering if you've continued trying any other combinations? I have a 2024 GC Trailhawk 4Xe. I just wanted to bump up to 265/65r18 on the factory 18" wheels, but thought I should plan on spacers to clear that upper control arm even at this minor increase in size. Do you think just .5 or maybe even 1" would be enough to fit 265/65 KO2 or the new Wildpeak AT/4W? Maybe you've found a perfect combo just a bit bigger?

@GodspeedZRZ

I think the 1'' should be perfect for the 265/65r18 I have since sold this one and moved onto other vehicles but I did not try anything else after this.

Just found your channel and I love this series. Do you think putting 31"s instead of 33"s would solve the clearing issues? This is a mod I'm thinking of doing and your experiments are a great help.

@GodspeedZRZ

Жыл бұрын

You could get away with 31" it's just not enough of a difference for me to justify. Thanks for watching!

Keep in mind that those 33" tires don't have much tread left. Even with the spacers brand new tires with full tread may not fit. Definite trimming with spacers.

Great Video! I just bought my 2023 Grand Cherokee L and I find it sitting too low. I was looking at the rough country 1 inch leveling kit, would it help with anything?

Every inch bigger for tires will increase your ride height half an inch. You would probably get 1-2 inches of height out of a little bigger tire that will clear and the one inch lift. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!

Hello there. I came across your video and wanted to ask a few questions. I have a 2024 Jeep GC 4xe. I have the black 20in rims from factory and I upgraded my tires to All terrains in 265/50/20 (which is the same size as original) I have some clearance issue with the fronts only as the brake caliper is too close to conform to the wheel. I need a very minimum clearance. What kind of spacers do you recommend since you have the same jeep and I wanted an exact fitment for my jeep. Thanks in advance.
