Respectfully, it Looks like you are driving on donuts…
285/70r17 ko2s will give that a VERY good look. and you’ll still fit in the garage.

Looking at this, it’s crazy how few gladiators I’ve ever seen on stock tires. I read somewhere that FCA estimates that 92% of owners get new tires within a month of ownership.

Thanks for the feedback. I wouldn't say it looks like on donuts but I do agree 33's would look better.

It's different, but I think it's due to the recessed look of the wheels. I have an all stock Overland on the street tires, but I have the 18" Overland wheels with the large spokes all the way out to the edge.

Wheels look great! I'm sure you could find some takeoff tires on the cheap if you wanted

Have you measured your overhead clearance? I’ve got an older house and I’ve got ~2-3” to spare with a JTR with 315/70-17’s and an Alu-Cab (takes up another ~1” of overhead clearance).

Maybe find some JTR or JTM take-offs to get you by for now.

Nice looking wheels! The color match usually looks odd to me. But yours look real good.

Yea I have 2 to 3 inches max clearance. I feel like 33s would fit, but I'm going to just rock the stocks for a while.

Why does it need to go in the garage?

Beyond the obvious “wants to park it in the garage,” what if they want to work on it? Are you going to air down the tires, keep a spare set to mount up, etc. just so you can pull it into the garage?

If you don’t mind parking and wrenching on your vehicle on the driveway, I guess it’s a non-issue.

The other perk of fitting in the garage…you don’t have to put the roof panels back on. When I’m done with mine for the day, it goes in the garage and I just leave the roof panels off, windows down, and rear slider open, because I do what I want.

Multiple reasons. I have the hardtop off, to keep it clean and out of the elements, thiefs....etc.
