Pics of Overland with Rubicon take-offs?

[25rawls]

For you guys who just swapped wheels & tires without the lift, did it change the ride much? For a while my overland will be my daily driver and I have about 60 miles round trip a day of highway driving, so trying not to kill the mileage or the comfort until I have something for commuting.

my opinion, because I did not weigh then to determine the weight difference, is the rubicon wheels and Falkens are a little heavier. But ride quality to me was better or more to my liking with the little extrasidewall and they way they fit the Jeep. I was planning on keeping my LE wheels and tires and just upgrade tires like I thought in February. But changed my mind and orders a whole new set so the rubicons will be coming off soon.

I did not notice any change in mpg with the swap.

I drive 116 miles one way to work and didn’t notice any difference.. gas mileage or ride..

Thanks, I’m definitely going to keep a lookout for some take offs.

Didn’t notice any difference, other than your ride looking insanely cooler

I actually like the Overland Wheels as much as the standard Rubicon wheels so I’m putting 265/70/18 A/Ts on my Overland. That’s roughly the same size as the Rubicon tires. Probably with Revo 3s. They’re great tires with an aggressive look but super light. Even the E loads.

maybe a 275/75/18, which is actually larger at 33.3”.

Rubicon "take-offs" are basically the same size as the originals as far as height. Oh, a bit different, but not enough to bother with. When set right next to each other off the truck, there's very little difference in diameter.
Change in ride - a bit. Mine doesn't have quite the same soft ride and is a bit less quiet, but nothing to complain about. I haven't asked her directly but my wife never said a thing after I swapped tires and wheels and we went to Indiana. More road noise but can't complain.
The speedometer is even extremely close to correct.

I put the stock Rubicon tires and wheels on my Overland, they were taken off a Gladiator Rubicon with a few hundred miles on it.

Swapped out for some rubicon take-offs, thank you guys for all the feedback from your swaps. I’m loving the new look and tires.

Who makes a 275/75x18?

This is mine with the 275/70/18 E load Revo 3.

I like the look. Do you have any lift on? How do these compare MPG and ride to the original HT's?

Thank you. No lift. I haven’t been on a road trip, it around town is basically the same according to the computer. They are heavy tires since I chose the E Load, but the ride it great. It actually feels more stable and connected to the ground. I do notice that it kicks out of 8th gear easier on the interstate if I go over 75 mph. The power is fine though. There is a slight hesitation when you first step on it (compared to stock) but it’s really not bad at all.

They actually look bigger in person. They measure out to 33.4”, which is an over sized 33. That particular tire is light for an E load, partially why I bought it, but it’s still 10 lbs heavier than the oem tires. Their road manners are excellent. It tracks and handles better than stock, you can’t hear them, and they have been great in the rain too.

Thanks for the info...for me I think the extra tire weight and width may help slightly with the "wander" I currently feel time to time. I think this will be my choice when I make the switch.

It doesn’t wander for sure.
