I have a max tow & just went to 37's... Did re-gear, but not till I did lockers. Could of done without, but with the locker install they were already coming out so there was very little price difference in lockers vs lockers & gears.
The big debate. Kinda like testosterone treatment, cuts two weeks off your life span but your quality of life is through the roof.
X12.50’s?I went with 37” Cooper STT pros and the 3.5” rough country lift. I debated heavily between 35s and 37s. I’m very happy with the results.
My testosterone treatments have lead me to ditch the 35s and go with 37s. Since I don’t have as long to live, might as well get what I want.
Perspective is everything. I sometimes wish mine found a bigger ring to save me from the constant feeling of inadequacy. I will be buying 37’s when I use up my stock 33’s. Probably with a re gear to 4.88.
For anyone else that also regrets getting 35's and wants to go up to 37's, if you purchased your 35's from Discount Tire, you can get a refund and not try to sell them yourself. Their policy is that if you are EVER not satisfied with your purchase, they will make it right. I told them I wasn't happy because my 35's were too small. They gave me credit of my full purchase minus a pro-rated amount for the 5300 miles driven over 4 months. I basically received a full refund minus 10% based on 5300 miles on a 50,000 tire and they swapped my 35" KO2's for 37" KO2's for $375 out of pocket. They also matched the current Mopar deal where you buy 3 and get the 4th for $1.. Warranty also moved from old to new tires. Just paid slight diff in cost..
The picture of my jeep on 35s was from April and the picture with the 37s is from September. I kicked myself for not going with 37s to begin with. Someone got a good deal on a lightly used set of 35s. Lol
I went with 37's w/ stock suspension for now...no rubbing at all, but no high speed off-road yet...Will probably need 2" spacer lift if not slow off-road.
How do you like that topper?
Same for me. I had an 05 TJ I put a 2” lift on and 33s and they were huge. Now my JT came with 33s stock with a lot of room to spare. Kinda crazy.
Which wheel is that?Kidding. Its actually not that big a difference. IMO id say 35’s for a small lift on most models; 37’s if youre doing a suspension lift. Just remember in either case you’ll want to regear, and you only want to do that once.
here is my stock Mojave on 37’s next to a Rubicon on 35’s. Unknown mods on the Rubicon, it *looked* like a leveling kit. The 37” on my stock Mojave looks stupid IMO, but will be perfect when my lift shows up. If i was staying stock i would have gone 35’s.
I humbly disagree! The 37’s belong on the Mojave, but I do agree a small lift makes look that much better!Kidding. Its actually not that big a difference.

not too bad, i picked them due to lighter weight for this size mud terran tire
