So now this has me looking at wheels as well. From what I can tell the factory 2024 Mojave wheels are 17x7.5 and weigh 28 lbs with a 37.17 offset. If possible, I want to find a lighter wheel, but my brain is not good at understanding the offset and widths. Is there a site that can help with that?

I was trying to learn all that myself ….
I was looking for new wheels to swap my stock 33’s over to….. but I can’t have any poke (illegal in PA).

I emailed my local offroad shop who was extremely helpful with availability in the size/cofig I needed. They told me I could go with 17” x 8.5” with +25 offset and still stay under the fenders. Punching the numbers into this website…. https://tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/
They‘re only 1/2” out farther than stock.
I ended up buying the wheels (Method MR305’s) from that shop….. I’ll take them back and have them installed in the spring.

So ... recently bought a 2021 used (40k) JT Rubicon (not diesel)...8 speed auto trans... lifted it 2.0 inches (Mopar)...put on some 17 inch black rhino wheels and 35 inch mud tread nitto's on it...and driving around town it drives great.. look good too. On highway...well...it sucks...wont leave 6th gear and slight hill bogs down or will down shift to 5 or even 4th...I honestly can not believe that the 4.10 gears can handle the set up....but I read so many post that claim "no worries...4.10 is fine no need to regear"....then I read post that say...at least 4.88 and if you not a speed freak (e.g. enjoy driving at 80 mph) you could actually go as high as 5.12. So if you have something similar to my set up and drive a bit of highway on your daily commute I would live to hear from you.
i have no lift rubicon with 35's and its drivable but i don't like it. Just feels sluggish

To the OP.......not sure what you've done since the email from your dealer but.....if nothing, much cheaper to download the jscan app, purchase a VIN license and the below items. This will allow you to do a bunch of things.

I updated the tire size on mine and the shift points are much better. On the highways, it was always hunting around for 8th gear and 7th on the small hills

I'll be regearing mine this summer, to a 4.88 possibly a 5.13 if I go to a 37. If you're not doing a ton of wheeling stick with the 4.10's right now I average about 17.5 in milage .

At 55lbs the Goodyear territory 315-70-17 tires haven't affected my daily mileage or power feel over the stock KM3 tires. The extra sidewalks softened the ride quite a bit though.

You may have missed the part where I mentioned speed cameras, this is speed limit related, not a fuel savings excercise. The point was I still see 8th at those speeds!
Quite possibly better roads where hes at,
I rarely drive over 115 Km/h in Alberta.
