Want to replace the stock 33 inch (32.5 is what I've heard they really are) Wildpeaks on my 2025 Mojave.
What metric size is a true 35 inch tire?
I am really happy with the Wildpeaks both on the freeway and off-road so I think I will stick with those. Want to keep the same aspect ratio as well I think
Stock wheels are staying as I don't want any balance issues as it drives really smooth now.
Any suggestions on what size to go with would be appreciated!

Bunch of ways to skin that cat, including a simple 35x12.50, 315/70, 275/80..

All depends on pricing and load range and what's available.

My 285/70R17 Wildpeaks (factory Mojave/Rubicon tires) are about 31.5" with the weight of the truck sitting on them.

For a true 35" worth of measured tire sitting on the ground, I'd think you'd have to run a 37" (advertised).

I’d stick with a similar width ….
Say for instance… 35 x 11.50 (Wildpeak makes a 35x11.5).

MT Baja Boss pizza cutters. Do it. They'll be about 34.5" naked... but a true 2" taller than your stock tires when mounted.

I had Falken Wildpeak stock 285/70 r17 (33") on my 2022 Mojave. I upgraded all 5 to Falken Wildpeak 35"x11.5" R17 tires. When I purchased my Mojave, I put on an AV 2" lift and added 1.75" wheel spaces. With the new tires, I removed the spacers, and changed my wheels to 8.5" width with 0 deg offset. The stance is almost identical. I went with wider wheels so I could increase the tire width, if I want in the future, but the wider width adds weight, component stress, and reduces milage. According to Falken, I could have used the stock 7.5" wheels with the 11.5" width tires. As I do the majority of my driving on paved roads, 11.5" tire width was my best choice. Good luck

I really liked the Mojave wheels, but the very large backspacing makes them difficult to use with 35s without spacers. I think some folks on here have run 35x10.5x17 "pizza cutter" tires on the stock rims. Anything wider than that may require a spacer, which can be bad.

The group I used to roll with probably put more than 200K miles cumulative on spacers (my JK included) with no issues.

My SS Camaro also runs 1" spacers all the way around for the last 30K miles / 7 years or so.

Different topic all together, though.

Like anything else, there are good spacers and bad spacers. Similarly, there are places where it's fine to run spacers and places it's not alright. If you buy cheap Chinese spacers and put them on your truck with some 35s, then go rock crawling, you're probably asking for trouble. This is why my comment was that they "can be bad".

For sure - just wanted to touch on that. A quality spacer installed properly is perfectly fine. If my truck had the narrow axles I would not hesitate to run spacers and keep my stock wheels as Ive done before. Since I have the wide axles I don't have to this time around, though.

Yep! Same here. I have the wide axles and -38 offset wheels, so I got lots of poke.

See my post above. No spacers, no rub.

If they're bad for rock crawling, they'd be worse for driving on the road.

I just had the Mopar 2" lift kit and Wildpeak 35"s (11.5") installed (I kept the stock rims). I had to take a 450 mile drive on I25 right after and the '25 JTR drives better than when it was new.
