Anyone add wider fenders to their Gladiator?

There is also a rule in Pennsylvania that the flares can't be wider than 3". I don't know how that pertains to a Wrangler or Gladiator, since our "flares" are pretty much the only coverage we have, and they stick out more than 3 inches from the factory, but that is the rule.

There are fenders and then there are flares. IMO, the fender is attached to the body and the flare is that narrow lip that is part of the liner. Trying to explain that to the judge and jury is another matter. Tires that extend past the outer edge are banned for good reasons.

Yep. This is the same dilemma I'm having. I want full legality, and I don't want to get pulled over. But I want 35s. I really want to go with the Nitto or Toyo 35x11.5x17s, but they are back ordered everywhere. Those would give me full coverage without having to worry about such matters.

What wheels? Should be fine with a 17x8.5 with +25 offset with 35x12.5s

No poke at +25? Do you have a pic? Sorry to thread jack. You could pm it if you want. I just don't want to spend money and then get a fix it ticket.

Any of the AEV built JTs with 35s for example https://www.aev-conversions.com/vehicles/inventory/#/1C6HJTFG7ML577318

I have their Savegre IIs but I am running Kenda 35x10.5 on them as I like narrower tires for snow, I wanted Toyos 35x11.5 as I had them previously but not currently available.
