37s on stock rubicon wheels

[wanderer]

Pulled the trigger on the mopar lift. Ugg. $$ spent now thinking. Can I run. Specifically BFG ko2 37x12.5 on stock rubicon rims?

I know I did the 315 70’17 on my jlur no lift and wheeled it just fine. If not. What offset do I need and.
can anyone recommend inexpensive wheels. Black. Maybe. 5 spoke. Not to heavy

I ran 37 12.5 17 KO2s on my Stock JKU wheels with no issues. They were 17X 7.5 same as the JT wheels. You will be fine, what you might run into is a shop refusing mount them. Sears in Concord NC had no problem installing them on mine. They told me when they installed my 315 70 17 BFG KO2s that they would put 37's on when I'm ready. Some will say not to do it but I've never seen anyone personally ever have a issue and I know a ton who have done it, are doing it and that includes myself.

I got the newer Bilstein lift at my dealer this summer on my JTR, and am considering moving up from my 35 Falkens as well.
I am guessing with 37” the under mounted spare won’t fit? It seems about max with the 35

Also thinking regearing might be best before 37 as well. As it is, 6th is for downhill on the highway!

They fit but you have to go to a shop that understands how to make it happen. I just had a MOPAR 2" lift installed on my 2024 Rubicon X along with 37" BFG K02's. The secret is the heat shield, they removed mine and wrapped the exhaust instead. I have a colleague with the same Gladiator and lift who just put on 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers and they fit as well. We're in Charlotte, NC and use Keffer Jeep who's extremely Jeep mod friendly.

I've got a spare 37x12.5 Baja Boss AT that rides in the stock location. Once it was almost all the way up I had to guide it in the last few turns and it was tight at 28 psi but it fit without removing the heat shield. My Clayton rear track bar is notched though.

Thank you!
Going to have to try it.
it’s funny how certain dealers are comfortable and some won’t touch any of this- which of course is my I town one!
