Design Manager insight on Jeep Wayout Concept. 37" spare tire fits aired down!

[Tortooga Custom Works]

I have the US Wheel Rat Rod steel smoothies on my JLUR. I ordered then in black but I just recently painted them bronze. I still need to paint the bumpers and rock sliders but this should give you an idea. I love them btw. Here are a couple of crappy pics.

Welcome! Awesome first post!

Hey thanks! I'm active on the JLWrangler forum but for some reason my screen name (GinjaNinja) would not work on the Gladiator forum.

Anyone know what the perfect specs are while ordering custom wheels for the Gladiator - if I am interested in 17" wheels should I ask for 17x8.5, 5x127 ET0, 5x5" and 5" BS?

I always get confused by the wheel dimensions and what they mean... any help would be much appreciated - Thanks!

Are these Stockton wheels?

 

[steffen707]

What wheels are you getting @steffen707 ?

For now, I picked up a set of LE wheels with stock AT 33s. But I'll need to get something else when I go 35", but that won't be for 3 years...... Just planning ahead.

Nope...they are US Wheel Rat Rod wheels: https://www.uswheel.com/wheel/11993/us-wheel-rat-rod-series-68/?finishID=12

Why 3 years?

I'm planning to do this Monday night. The Dual Battery kit is here, just waiting on the batteries. Maybe I'll put the kit in Sunday night and drive my van Monday - it hasn't sold yet

I've actually been watching the install video over and over, and transcribing it into a word doc.

Please consider taking plenty of pictures and doing a write up on the install.
This is one of the mods I’m strongly considering to transfer my truck into an overlanding rig.

Lease will be up then I should be buying a rubicon gator.

I was dead set on the Armory wheels from Black Rhino and now am contemplating these steelies LOL

So, @JTRUBI @2020 SCRAMBLER @chrcal14 are you guys saying that the wheels in the wayout concept is the same as Stockton and the stockton wheels are same as the one from wheelvintiques?

I am contemplating getting them painted Firecracker Red. But, now this would be steelies Vs alloy LOL Idk why I am having so much trouble making a decision on the wheels smh...

Do you guys think red on red wheels will be too much? I feel like maybe a bronze paint?

I might be partial to the red on red. Did that on my old Rubicon. I liked it. And that’s all that mattered. If you like it do it. As far as the wheels being the same I believe they are. That’s just what I was told by the designer.

I've had the smoothies on my JK since 2013 and thinking about putting a set on my JT. I've had great service, no brake issues and tons of comments. These are 16x8 with 4.5 BS. Dual bolt pattern. Due to the BS I had to polish the casting marks off of the front calipers. They balanced easy and ride smooth. Only draw back is they are heavy.

They were about $100 ea new. There is a 17x8 version but it only has the single bolt pattern, and were twice the price.
