Anyone running 275/70/18 or 285/65/18 on their stock overlands?

Go to the wheel and tire section this has been covered a lot even has pictures!

Yes, 285/65x18 without issue. Continental TerrainContact A/T. Same rolling diameter as stock so no speedo adjustment required.

Do you know if those tires fit on the stock overland wheels? I couldn’t find info on the width of the wheel

I’d go with 285/75R18. That’s a 35x11 tire. They fit OE 18-inch wheels, but you will need a little lift.

This size looks just perfect IMO.

Contemplating this size or even a 275/70/18 for my Overland. With the 285/75s being a 35 inch tire, wouldn’t you have to regear? At what size would be common practice to regear?

You don’t need to re-gear. I have 35-inch tires on my Sahara, V6 with stock gearing, and it drives fine. The new 8-speed automatic provides greater flexibility with larger tires than Jeeps of old.

Make sure you calibrate your speedo afterwards; it resets your shift points as well.

It appears people start regearing with 37s and up.

FWIW - I did 285/75/18s and a level kit. See here: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...ted-overland-with-35s-and-leveling-kit.35816/

Nice. I PM'd you some questions I had on your set up, so I don't clutter up the forum.

295/70R18 hoping to put the level kit on this weekend

Mines an 80A, which comes with the same wheels as the Overland and is pretty similar otherwise.
