Looks very nice, those stock wheels don't do enough justice I say - Find some nice black wheels and flip these stock ones while new... I think some black wheels would look amazing with SG. Congratulations again!

Yeah I am not a fan of the stock rims. Debating either powder coating them black. Any thoughts on that?

Or going with rubicon take offs. I heard the rubicon wheels and tires don’t fit without a lift and I don’t want to lift it.

I’ll sell you mine if I ever get my rubicon. Planning to upgrade to 35’s. Supposed to ship from factory on 8/1. They should fit with no lift. Rubicon wheels are just 33 inch.

Yeah def powder coated black is a better option. You can find wheels that are already powder coated black... some are painted black but I have done extensive research and feel that powder coating is better than paint esp for wheels...

Picked up yesterday and couldn’t be happier. I was ready for delivery in late August and quite a nice surprise when they called to say it was in!

Picked up my LE tonight. So far really happy. 10 min after buying it someone tapped by rear bumper hard enough to make my truck lunge fowards in a drive through lane . Luckily no damage was done.

Picked mine up yesterday. After finding/negotiating one the last two weeks via txt/e-mail as I was out of the country. Posted about that here.

I moved over from a 2017 GMC Canyon SLT (and thanks to this forum, I kept my soft folding bed cover since it fits on the Gladiator. The biggest thing I'm having to get used to is the "floaty" steering feel, other than that very happy to have joined the Jeep family.

@TTEChris is spot on. 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the stock LE rims. 2" factory mopar lift. I did a LOT of research on the height, tire/rim width because I wanted the tire to stay "inside" the fender well. I will post some pic's down the body line so you get an idea of how a 12.50 tire aligns in the fender on the stock LE rim. I could not find a 37 R17 with the tread pattern I wanted, I ended up happy not to have a 37" tire on the 2" mopar lift.


edit: for those wanting a 37 x R17 I do think Nitto has the Trail Grappler (mud lug) in a 37 x 12.50 x R17. But the Ridge Grappler is not made in that size configuration. Just fyi...

I am going through the same exercise of looking for a 35" tire setup that stays inside the fender well. How much room is there from the stock Rubicon setup? The configuration I am considering would push the tire out about 1.5", but I don't know if that would push beyond the fender. Can you help? Thanks in advance. My Gladiator should be delivered in about 2 weeks.
