Just wanted to confirm Rubicon take off on Overland

[awraynor]

A somewhat local seller has some Rubicon take offs pictured below. I'm not a huge fan of the stock Overland rims and looking for alternatives. These seem decently priced and wanted to confirm they would fit the stock Overland? I think so, but not 100% sure.

33” Falken Widepeak M/T (285/70R/17) is listed size.

No problem, I ran them on mine until I sold them a week ago.

I ran the Falken A/T rubicon wheels and tires for 2 winters. Mine is an Overland.
The A/T tires are about 32.7 inch diameter (32.8" by some sites. Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 285/70R17

Keep in mind the M/T tires will make more noise and you will lose MPG- I dropped a couple of MPG with the A/T, I'd expect the M/T to drop at least that much compared to the stock Overland tire. I went with A/T for Iowa winters and our stormy weather.

I have since gone back to the wheels I like better - with new tires.

Yup Rubi take-offs with Falken M/Ts work just fine on the Overland.

Same as above. No issues...

They will fit no problem but what is the price? You have many options.

I was wondering about MT vs AT since we don't really get bad weather around here and I'll be on pavement 95+ % of the time.

$1200 for 4 tires and rims with TPMS and the steelie spare. Wouldn't mind a full set of steelies and sometimes trading out for that look.

I really like that Rubicon style of rim too. Eventually a 1.5" leveling kit on the front. I have a tendency to keep a vehicle mostly stock.

M/Ts won't have the life expectancy, they will be louder on the highway, your MPG will drop - if you care (and likely you do if you drive mostly paved roads)
I'd do A/T tires in your case - I can't see ever putting M/T tires on my truck. for my purposes. For me, it would be the "why" - because of the looks? A/Ts look great, IMO but I want tires that work for my driving.

Thanks for your help again. I'm old enough to remember the really loud tires and had some of the same concerns. At least I have a relative idea of what will fit. At most I'll do a leveling kit on the front end. Current height is just where I want it.

I left some rake because I do haul heavy stuff and hate looking at tree-tops with my headlights LOL but I did reduce the rake a little bit.

I live in town, wish I was out in the country. Mine is mostly for Lowe's trips, but I just like having a truck no matter what.
