RP: Winterize

[Diandra]

Hey, was drunk and posted this elsewhere but I might as well get opinions here.
Winter is coming and my 07KJ is still on STs. I'm not going to wheel yet and dont want to spend too much money, so I'm putting either 2.5 or 3' spacers on and using the 32's we already have from the 08JK.
Will I have to re-gear? (I spend most my time in traffic) do I need to worry about a lug adapter?
Other than changing the oil, the alt, fuses, and disconnecting other peoples' battery- I know nothing.

32's might blow the front diff...

32s won't blow the front diff unless you abuse it. Also, plenty of people have blown the front diff running smaller tires and such too.

You WILL need adaptors if you run JK wheels on a KJ. and with the 255/75-17s you may have some rub depending on what the offset comes out to be with the lug adaptors.

Post pics either way

So...
My question is...
What does 32 inch tires have to do with "Winterizing?:

I can see mounting "Snow tyres" and making sure all
the vehicles fluids are up to the task of performing in
winter conditions so that your KJ doesn't leave you stranded
on the side of the road somewhere...
But again...
What do 32 inch tyres have to do with "Winterizing"?

Just asking is all!
