Anyone have a picture of a Rubicon Gladiator with 35’s on stock wheels but no lift? I have read that 35’s will fit without a lift. Any one try this yet?
If you look at my pics I have a Rubicon with 35" NRG's.

Thanks!

I happened to be in the Raleigh, NC area today and stopped by Westgate Jeep. they have a Red Gladiator with 35-inch tires and no lift. Looks good.

dam...looks really good! i think I can come to the conclusion that 35's looks better with no lift with less wheel gap and the 2 inch mopar lift is more in line and looks better with 37's....am I crazy?

I came to the same conclusion. I talked with one of the guys that told me I may need spacers with 35’s in Stock Wheels without a lift. Not sure if there were spacers on this one or if the offset of the wheel was enough. Really looked good though. Definitely a benefit of the Rubicon.

Definitely one of the biggest benefits I think as well....I'm going to be running 35's on my sport s max and I want it to look just like that red one....but being the rubi has about an inch of more clearance I will use spacers to get to essentially rubi stock height....now if I could only find some of the rubi front fenders I'd be perfect

Found the pics of your Firecracker Rubicon - looks really great!

How do the NRGs ride? I have read some folks think the 35’s ride/handle better on the highway - any feedback?

I believe those wheels only come in a -12 or -38. Seems you likely have the -12s.
Only assuming to know as I am planning on purchasing.
Do you happen to have a pic down the side showing how far those tires stick out?
Thanks!

If you all are in SE Michigan I purchased my lift from Dan Hall's Pinckney Jeep. They have a 15% off coupon on their website for Mopar Performance Parts which they allowed on my lift kit. Just over $1900 installed including alignment.

Ask for Chris in service.
I'm hoping this is still the price of close to it when I get my Punk'n.

Thanks for the pic and helpful info. I think 35s are what I'll start with. Also, I'm surprised I haven't seen your Gladiator get since you are close to me. :like:

I think they definitely handle better, the NRG's are smooth and quiet!
