Question regarding adding tires to stock Mojave rims

[Grump Fish]

I've seen other guys get those too. How have they been holding up? Is it worth the extra $?

I bought them and the tire shop told me they were too small and it wouldn't sit properly. I didn't fully believe him but I didn't feel like going back and forth with him on it. Did you use the McGard wheel locks too?

Any pics would be appreciated. Wasn't sure if they were too glossy against the matte rim or am I just over analyzing it...

Here's a picture of the McGard balck lug nuts on my Mojave.

Looks good. I put them on yesterday along with the wheel locks.

Looks good. I might regret it some day but I don't normally use the wheel locks.

About 15,000 miles on them and zero issues.
They ride great, handle great, are quiet on the highway and do fine on the trails.
Still hoping for snow, but they do really well in heavy rain.
Wear has been perfect at 29 cold.
Last tank averaged 18.6 MPG

Looks great and nice stance. Did you lift it too? Does putting 35" tires on stock suspension require the Mojave to be lifted by a couple of inches?

It had a 2" AEV lift on it when I bought it as a Certified Pre Owned.
There are lots of Mojave and Rubicons on 35's with the stock suspension, and they seem to be fine.
Honestly, if I had a do-over, I'd go that route first. I think 35's on stock look better. They fill the wheel wells a little better.
I may do 37's after these are worn out. either that or a Tacoma or Frontier.

37x12.50r17s on stock rims no problem. Your 35s will fit. For heavy rain I'd stick to a quality all terrain like a Toyo X-AT. I run an MT but we don't get a lot if heavy rain in CA or AZ.
