Mojave with Xtreme recon package

[Stojanowski]

I suck at search but figure the Mojave should have no problem though on the Xtreme recon wheel and tire correct?

Mojave can fit 35’s no lift. Check the rim though as far as backspacing goes. You can use online backspacing calculators to compare the stock vs the recon.

a mojave can fit 37x12.5s with zero lift if you don't care about articulation.

metric or imperial 35s fit great at +25 offset or less. not sure about more offset, but not writing it off either just stating what I know for sure

Mojave and Rubicons can fit 35s stock on stock rims.

This is what an xtreme package on a Mojave would look like. 1” front and .75” rear with 35x12.50/17.

So don't waste monies on a set of 5 recon wheel and tires

If you like how the stock wheels look, then yea, it's easier to just get 35" tires. Mojaves have a unique backspacing compared to other trims because of the shocks. If all you care about is the tire height, keep the stock wheels and just throw 35" tires on them. If you like how the XR wheels look, you might need to throw a wheel spacer on to make sure the tires clear all of shock components.

Don’t recall the Extreme Recon wheels offset, but for comparison…

Mojave wheels offset are almost +38 (37.7, I believe).

Rubicon offset are +44 (even, I don’t know?).

Extreme recon should fit no problem as they look like a good bit more negative offset

Extreme Recon wheels are 12mm (positive) offset, not negative.
If negative is not stated in a listing description, they are positive offset.
Backspacing is neither negative nor positive.

I'm not sure where this rumor about the Mojave wheels having a special offset to clear the Mojave shocks started, but I'm running 'regular' JLR wheels on my Mojave and there is plenty of clearance all around the shocks

I believe jeep started this, at release time.

Mojave wheels have a lower offset, simply for a wider track. What one would want for higher speed desert running, unlike trail oriented/rock crawling Rubicons. It’s not about the 2.5” shocks.

This might be what started it, but I think I remember seeing Jeep say the same thing in a press release.

"You may have read that the Mojave’s track width is a half-inch wider than the Rubicon. It’s done by reducing the offset of the wheels, which pushes the tires outward to create more inside clearance for those bigger Fox shocks."

No insinuations or accusations directed at all here, but it seems Dan Edmunds (who I assume) is not a direct Jeep affiliate… officially associated…
may have “started this rumor”… for some.
I’m just saying.
