Newbie, need help with wheel/tire combo

[Windroddy2]

Picked up this 2021 Mojave.
Thinking about going to 35's and new wheels.
It's going to be a daily driver and any off-road will be in the sand on the Cape for the most part.
Should I stick with the 17's or go to 18's... pros and cons?
If I go with wheels that are offset anywhere from 0 to -12 I shouldn't have a problem?
Just looking for some guidance.

Great place to look, https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/forums/tires-wheels-brakes.24/

Mojave wheels are uniquely offset.
Toyo at3 tires are a great option.

Definately recommend 17" rims. Cheaper tires and many of the tires that are 35" & 18's are E rated so you won't have the selection as you will with a 17" rim. For reference, E-rated tires come factory on 3/4 adn 1-ton trucks. Way too much tire. Secondly, the 17" tire will allow you to air down better due to the greater side wall.

Back spacing. The further in you go, the longer your ball joints will last and will result in less steering issues. The Mopar offroad wheels are +12, AEV are +25. The widest I'll go is a 0 if I don't go with Icon Pro's. My second choice is a Method racing rim...probably a 705.
