35s on Sport S, non-max tow??

[mersinery]

I currently have a 2023 Sport S that doesnt have the max tow package. Got a set of Mojave stock wheels from a member on here and found a used set of NItto Ridge Grapplers from a tire shop near me. Said they were 35x12.50x17.

How will these fit on my current setup? I do not plan to add spacers or a lift kit and honestly, I dont see myself taking this off-road. Most of my driving is highway and some city driving.

the shocks won't fit on the front and the 35s may rub a bit on the inner fender but all in will clear enough for daily driving. I'd recommend 1in of lift or more in the front. a wheel spacer if your gonna run the stock wheels. The Mojave front shocks have a larger diameter bolt hole as the Mojave is designed to take the most front end abuse than the other trim levels. It has quite a few reinforcements and upsized hardware for the shocks up front. This makes it to where there are no easy off the shelf shocks for the Mojave aftermarket and other Gladiator trims can't fit Mojave shocks without some drilling and bracket modification.



edit: I'm more than happy to buy your Mojave shocks off of you at the price you paid for em if your not willing to drill your truck up. So u can reallocate that money into shock that will fit, I'm in NOVA and I have a good wheeling buddy in Germantown. We can also help with installs, lifts, repairs, and recoveries. (for free if you wheel with our group, lunches are appreciated)

I dont have the mojave shocks, only just the wheels.

I'm on the Eastern Shore, so a bit far from NOVA but definitely will keep that in mind in case I do end up ever getting some more hardcore off-road parts/accessories and may need assistance....thanks!

Mojave wheels will cover the need for spacers. Should fit 35s just fine then. You may still need a little lift. but should daily just fine for now

What about gearing? Any concerns on running 35s with 3.73 gears?

I wouldn't tow with it and it'll feel a lot more sluggish but its still considered liveable. Its gonna be a little worse/different than my 37s and 4.10 I'm running. I tow a 5400lbs 19ft camper with no issues. I also have a set of 35s i daily on as well, if i'm not feeling 37s for a bit.

Acceleration is still fine. But you won't see 8th gear very often.

Definitely will feel more sluggish, particularly if the compute isn't reset to show the new tire size. I have an Overland with 3.73 and 34" tires. Granted it has a fiberglass bed cap but it definitely changed it.

3.73 w/ 35s is going to feel about the same as 4.10 w/ 37s if you math out the ratios. Left chart is 3.73 and 35s, right chart is 4.10 and 37s. RPM differences are negligible.

yes and no. My 37s are true to size. OP is asking for 315s which measure 33.7 to 34. Not a true 35. So I imagine, know that i think about it, It'll be a bit better than my setup. I'd say irl would be a 100ish rpm difference. 8th i tend to ignore as with where i drive 5 and 6th is the most used. especially when towing. Having more rpm in those gears is essential since the gasser make shit for torque. Now obviously you don't want insanely high rpm but generally the more wheel weight you add the more rpm your gonna want cus that 3.6 doesn't make enough oomph at 1700 rpm to keep a 37 doing 70 other than flat or downhill. I'm gonna regear to 4.88 most likely. I don't wanna do 5.13 or higher because i plan on a hemi swap. hemi will make enough torque that i can lose some rpms for efficiency but still hold speed.

plus tire weight is a huge factor we tend to ignore. If his tire are 10lbs lighter a corner he'll have a much easier time of hold 8th than i will.

I don't know if it will be much different. I took have the Mojave wheels on a Sport S but I do have Max Tow. I have purchased spacers in 1.5 in front .75 for the rear but haven't installed yet. In pictures they look closer than they are. I have been on three trails this far and 3,000 miles. They have never rubbed anywhere.

Well, the used set of ridge grapplers were sold before I could check them out...time to wait again for a couple weeks/months.

Hopefully they do get 33s soon. They had a set a while back but they went quick too.

 

[mersinery]

Was able to get a set of falken wildpeaks at3 from marketplace. Only had about 500 miles on them and they look brand new.

Do I "NEED" to get a wheel alignment once installed or am I good to go?

So I have a 21 Willys with narrow axles. Take of Rubi springs and shocks and a 1.5 spacer up front. Getting ready to yank the spacer and add the AEV or Iron Rock 2" all around spacer kit. I want 35/10.5/17 tires. So with the narrow axles and that lift and stock Rubi rims, will I rub? Wasn't sure if the rub people get with 35s on narrow axles was from the 35" height or the normal 12.5 width. Since I want 10.5 width, I didn't know if it would make a difference.

 

[Moose843]

Where did you find 10.5s? The best I could do was 11.5s. I saw some 34x10.5s yesterday on a gladiator.
