2022 Jeep Gladiator Diesel Rubicon Stingray
Just picked up my 22 Diesel Rubicon and had the dealer swap my wheels and 37" tires off my 2020 which had a 2" Ironrock lift in it. The dealer wanted $500 to swap the lift out so I said screw it and just ordered another for $230. Which I'll install today in my garage. I was concerned going to pick it up that the tires would rub, but after 100 miles of driving around town there's no rub at all. Granted if I went off road, it'd be a different story. Just thought I'd share as there's often alot of posts asking what fits w/o a lift. The wheels are 17" Beast with a -12 offset. Tires are BFG 37x12.50 KO2.. I'll post pics this afternoon

Congrats!! Need pic's!!

My 37-inch KM3's measure just over 36 inches, so you should be fine for now. I have the Mopar 2-inch lift which gives me plenty of clearance (so far), but I haven't been at full flex since I made these mods to see if I have tire rub.

Yeah, on road you likely won't have any issues. BFG MT and AT run pretty small and the Rubicon has plenty of room for them. Once you start flexing, you'll definitely want some extra bumpstop to keep the tires and fenders away from each other. Post pics! Here's my 22 JTRD with 37" Coopers on 17x9 -12 MB 11 Wheels off my JK. The tires are worn down to about 35.5" on the truck. It was a little tight, but fit fine, no rubbing at all on road. I feel like it was too much poke, so I'm looking for different wheels for the JT.
