2023 Jeep Gladiator Willys Tire Question

[Tug Allen]

I have a 2023 Jeep Gladiator Willys Sport with the tow package and i want to replace tire with larger ones. I am thinking 33-12.50-17. I have a level kit and 2 inch spacers on now. Does anyone know if the stock rim width will fit or cause problems with a tire size listed above.

You'll have absolutely no issue fitting those tires.

A 2" level would allow you to clear 35's on those wheels as well.

Awesome even with the stock wheel width ?

You mention 33x12.5 size in your first post. Did you mean 35x12.50's?

Reason I ask, is that most tire makers for a 33x12.50x17 tire recommend a minimum 8.5'' width rim when the stock OEM rims are 7.5".

35x12.50x17 tire, most tire makers say you can get away with a 7.5" width minimum rim

In a 33" or 35"? There is a difference in the recommended rim width.

Interesting, I just looked it up and you're correct.

Guess I've run 33x12.5 tires on many a wheel "too small". I've never had an issue, doesn't make it right, but all of those tires have functioned properly and got great mileage out of them.

A couple local lads are running 35x12.5 on their oem 7.5 wheels as well and they've put some good miles on theirs as well

I have a 4" lift with 2" spacers. 37" mounted on stock Willys rims.

Looks Awesome

I've done the Teraflex leveling kit and upgraded to Bilstein shocks. Then went with a Toyo AT3 35*11.5/17 and have had no issues. I changed the wheels only because I wanted a different look.
