not too bad, i picked them due to lighter weight for this size mud terran tire
I put 50k miles on mine and still had at least 25k worth of good tread before I would have replaced them. I traded the truck for my Mojave.

go with 37's cause you will regret it down the line and sell your brand new 35's like 2 months later,simple as that man
This is haunting my dreams currently. I fear someone is going to get an awesome deal on some 35” Baja Boss tires with less than 3k miles.

The real question is- do I keep my 20” wheels because 1: I like the look and 2: with a little less sidewall they are better handling on the road as my daily driver

OR:
Do I completely change the look and get these in 18”?

Somewhat figure if it’s going to cost me money, may as well go big and cost myself even more money.

I think 18” are the worst of both worlds. Stick with 17” or 20”. I have 17” on my JT, the wife has 20” on her JL.

I had 20" rims with 35's on my '15 JKUR, and 20" rims with 37's on my '18 JLUR. I wheeled both off road with no issues. I decided to go with 17" rims and 37's on my JTUR because that was the only size rim available in the particular rims I wanted when I bought them due to Covid delays. I actually like the look of having more "meat" on the sidewall now vs rim, and I really haven't noticed a difference in handling with the taller sidewall. But if the 20's make you happy, keep 'em. That Vision wheel is a great looking rim BTW.

May stick with 20” because it’s potentially less expensive. I could swap 37s and mount them to these wheels. I do like these wheels, the other ones would be more of a build “look” change. Like swapping my aftermarket front bumper for the arcus..just a different look.

Could run 37s on this setup and then down the road change out to a different wheel. Albeit, stuck to the 20” option which I’m fine with.

I was expecting the 37's I bought last week to be at 4WP in Glen Bernie, MD either Friday or Saturday - but that didn't pan out.

They arrived today so I'm driving ~85 miles north tomorrow morning to pick them up.

Since I bought 5 and I'm not having them mount them, I'm bringing some ratchet straps hoping they'll be fine in the bed of the Mojave. I may have to have the tailgate down, or get creative - not sure.

Nah, should fit. Get a cargo net to cover. ?

Tires should be heavy enough not to fly out with the exception of a severe jounce or accident.

In my experience, 2.5" is plenty for 37s. I'm running Evo's 2.5" with 38s and wheel it. @Renegade has Daystar's 2" and 37s and wheels his pretty hard. Pics for reference.

Is this a max tow ? I want to go the same route - but trying to avoid spacers so thinking of picking up Rock Trixx RT105's 17x9 4.5bs -12 - just was worried about rubbing when i am on the trails.

Yes, Max Tow. We didn't have any rubbing -- but we did have trimmed fenders.

Agreed. The COR 2.5 is perfect for 37s (it actually measures out at well over 3”) and it still fits under a standard garage door. The 3.5” would not have.
