Installed 17x10.0 +12 Forgeline wheels and 37x12.50r17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Stock suspension, zero rubbing issues.
You guys think the Mojave rides smooth stock, wait until you try it on 37s. It's very smooth now! Tires are also quieter than the factory Falken M/T tires.
As a wheel business owner, I run Forgeline wheels on all my personal vehicles.

As an owner of a wheel sales business, I always select quality for my own vehicles. It's one way to make your vehicle stand out among the rest. I designed these specifically for my own Jeep, and also took all measurements and provided the fitment specs.

There are about a dozen Mojave's on this site with no lift and 37's. When my new wheels arrive later this week, I'll be in that group next week. Here is a Mojave on stock lift, stock wheels with 37's.
I replaced the plastic bumper with a Rugged Ridge Arcus steel bumper. I am very pleased with the quality of this bumper, it is much nicer than the factory one. Purchased: https://amzn.to/37zcSHz
Fitment was great, and there are no issues or modifications needed to reuse the Mojave skid plate...
Did some more modifications over the last couple days.
I replaced Sting Gray grille with Mopar satin black grille. The black grille can be ordered two different ways:
1. A complete, ready-to-install kit with black grille inserts and headlight bezels already installed. This setup has black...
I threw some arrows to show the difference. The Mojave's entire hood is taller, as well as the cowl panels in front of the windshield. You can also tell by looking at the hood latch area, how much hood profile is above the latch on the Mojave vs the Rubicon.
Fuel mpg doesn't mean much, unless you drive 100K+ miles in a short time. The extra $4K for the diesel engine will pay for over 2,000 gallons of unleaded. Even at 16 mpg like my Mojave gets, that means the price difference alone would pay for nearly 34,000 miles of driving it.
The RR kit replaces the cowl corner in front of the windshield. The Mojave has a different shaped cowl than the rest of the models. It is taller than the others. RR will need to create a Mojave-specific corner for us.
Could be a few factors. Steel is cheaper to produce than aluminum, on material costs. They also needed to reduce costs for the upcoming 392 hood, so spreading it across more models drops price per unit. They may have also found the aluminum hood doesn't hold up as well to high speed offroading...
Before I bought mine, it was common to find the Mojave's between $5-7K off MSRP, depending on options. The higher the MSRP, the greater the discount. Mine was $54K MSRP and I paid $49K.
Just use a simple online calculator to convert between backspacing and offset. There are a few online like this one: wheel offset backspace calculator
Backspacing is easier for most to visualize. More backspace means the wheel moves inward towards the frame.
Offset is more commonly used...
