Looking to upgrade wheels & tires -- 35’s on 18’s or 20’s

[Southtxrubi29]

Looking to put some wheels & tires on my gladiator, 35’s on 18’s or 20’s, just trying to get the offset right. I don’t want the tires to stick out ridiculously but I want a good look. Any great ideas or pics would be appreciated ???????? Thank you in advance

Stay with a positive offset. 0 offset sticks out about an inch or so.

Why 18's or 20's? Personal preference?

With 35's, I would stay with 17" Wheels. Your factory Rubicon wheels will work with 35x10.5 or 35x11.50 tires.

Stay with a positive offset. 0 offset sticks out about an inch or so.

Stock Rubicon wheels have +44mm offset. Moving to a 0 offset is 1.75” further out. Add another 1/2” for a 315/70 tire - total 2.25” poke.

35x12.50
Stock 20x8 wide wheels
1.5" wheel spacers
Wide axles

What I am running is equivalent to an 8" wide wheel with +6mm offset.

@Southtxrubi29, the first step is to decide what size wheels you want to go with. If you are off-roading 17 inch is the most common but there are some on the forum with up to 20 inch size. There are also wheel and tire calculators online that you can use to see where the new Wheel/Tire will sit in relation to your stock set up.

Le3t us know if we can help.

2.25" more poke than stock, but stock isn't flush, it's quite a bit inset. Stock was probably a little bit more than an inch inside the fender. When I went to 12.5 inch tires, it was about a half an inch inside the fender, and then the offsets put me about a little over an inch outside the fender, if we're using freedom units. Then the XR flares extensions got me pretty much flush.
