No lift or leveling kit yet. I bought an Alu-cab Canopy Camper that will be installed next spring — waiting on that before making any suspension mods.
They measure just under 31.5" in diameter.
i have a sport with max tow and the first thing i did was put 35s on there they are good for you if you dont want to lift your truck but they also work if you do. i have a 2in lift on mine and they still look big on my truck.
Lift and tires look awesome! Ive never been a fan of an aggressive bull dog look personally. I have 1/4in spacers on my wheels now which gave me a little tire peeking out. I have 1/2in once sitting at the house, just haven't stuck them on.Went with 2.5in Rough country leveling kit (coil springs) 1.75in wheel spacers, and 35in BFG km3. May remove spacers in future to see how it looks.
Thank you man! Yea I’m in the same boat, some angles it looks great some angles they stick out too much. Going to take them off here soon and see how they look/ride. Plusssss they sling up everything on the side of the truck lol
yep, same problem for me. The combo of the wider axles on the JTMT and the little 1/4in spacer has my door hinges completely coated with ice this year. kinda annoying.

Thanks for the detailed response!! Your tires don’t look like they stick out as wide as mine do, maybe it’s just me haha. My gladiator is one big optical illusion. From one angle it has some squat, other angle it’s nose diving.. tires look big up close, look stock at 20 yards away hahahah. What am I to doLooks good, do have a Max Tow or Regular sport/Overland because if you remove the wheel spacers on a regular sport or overland with stock wheels you will hit the lower control arms at full lock. Here is a idea of what it would look like with spacers removed and installed. I'm running 1.75" spacers on mine with a 2.5" ReadyLift also was running BFG KO2S in a 35 before going to the 37's included some pics for your reference
No lift no wheel spacers

Yeah I thought my 35's looked big until I went up to 37's, now I'm hooked. I get what you sayin though 100%, feel the same way about mine. Every angle looks different, worst angle is looking at it from the rear, I'm still trying work on that. I almost got it where I want it at right now though with the overall look.Thanks for the detailed response!! Your tires don’t look like they stick out as wide as mine do, maybe it’s just me haha.

Yours looks great man! I need 37s
I agree! Yea from the back mine looks like it’s nose diving haha. I’m considering a slightly larger lift in the near future and I think that will help. And some big ole beefy 37s too!
Great looking Jeep! Was the leveling kit necessary to fit tires?285/75/17 Yokohama Geolander M/T - Sport S, MAX TOW, Rubicon Express Leveling Kit with Fox 2.0 (somethings)
