Question regarding adding tires to stock Mojave rims

[axefan88]

Hey guys. I have a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave. I need tires and am considering just putting 35" tires on the stock Mojave black rims.
Can the stock rims handle a 35 X 12.50 ? Also.. if so, can you guys recommend tires that would be around $300 each. I like the aggressive look. I'm in Florida and need for some sand, mud and especially heavy rain.
Lastly just some thoughts on your opinions on how the 35" would look on the stock rims.

Thanks in advance ! I appreciate everyone's help and opinions.

Tons of threads and opinions on this. I personally wouldn't and didn't do it. I just put on the Toyo AT III's at 35/11.5/17 last weekend. Measures out at 34.75 inches tall. Running them at 34 PSI for now. Got them for $319 a tire before tax at Town Fair Tire. Only driven them 50 miles but love them so far. Same weight and C rating as stock 285/70/17 Falkens M/T's. Rides and handles better than the Falkens IMO. Much quieter too as the Falkens lasted 48k miles but got loud towards the end. The tire companies have certain tire/rim specs for a reason.

Most people will reply saying Discount Tire will do it with no questions asked. IMO doesn't mean it's right. To each their own.

My biggest issue is finding black lug nuts to finish the blackout look on the Mojave rims. Never understood why Jeep gives us chrome lug nuts with black rims? Finally found some and I am putting them on this weekend. I adjusted the tire size using Jscan. Here are some pics for now.

I will look into these. Your truck looks great with them !

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

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...?

Everywhere I looked shows they are the correct fit for 2023 Gladiator. They seemed to seat and torque fine and I haven't had any issues with them. I like how they look on my Mojave. I'll try to get a picture in a bit.

You might want to look at the Milestar Patagonia MT 315 70 17. We put a set of these on my wife's JT Sport and she loves them. My brother has them on his Tacoma and they have worn evenly and still have a lot of life with around 25K on them.

**Edited to show correct metric size.**
Heres a link to the ones we got.

Running this same tire and wheel combo for almost a year. Does great for me. Prefer them to the KO2 or the Falken though both of those are good tires. Personal preference on ride and noise Toyo is a better option.
