    I think it is possible on stock rims, not so sure about without lift part. Only trouble is you will be making already a very unstable vehicle more unstable.

    The question is why siam tyres?
    Do you have a goode deal for them?

    Siam + wrangler is not a common combination. They are meant for heavy vehicules, you’ll get a lot of spinning with them on the wrangler and you ll loose some grip. So unless you adjust your drving style, it will notice some challenges in steep slopes.

    Cheers man.

    That is probably a better option with a TJ…but somehow both these options are not as good looking cosmetically on a Jeep as some of those Baja Thomsun types….
    A matter of conditioning & perception…perhaps…

    Please get in touch with our Chief Marshal (050 5059276) Ali or Satwinder Singh (050 4519336), both using Sumitomo Shaheens on Nissan Patrols ( LWB & SWB) respectively. Imran Khan (050 2612770) has been using the same on his FJ.

    You can get opinions from these guys. The Sumitomo dealer is located in Rashidiya near the airport Tunnel.

    ThanX, will get in touch to get 1st hand opinion.
