You should post a before pic for comparison.

it looks great, my point is that the Sports look hideous with those tiny tires on those basic silver wheels. My Overland looked pretty shitty on the oversized 32s it came with, but at least they are noticeably bigger than the Sport wheels and the overland wheels are much nicer.

Launch edition ones went on my Sport S with no problem at all. I had already replaced the bumper with a plastic Rubicon one.

no problem with regular gladiator rubicon wheel/tire combo. also feels more stable at highway speeds than stock.

Hey Angler3, NC_Overland, Mavik, db305,
Thank You so much for your replies, help and Sweet Gladiator Pics


If Anyone knows the best:
1) floor jack and jack stand points for hoisting the Gladiator Sport S to change tires... and
2) the lug nut torque setting for these Jeep Gladiator rims with Falken tires
Then please post replies.

Thanks,
Brian

I am running 295/70/17 with stock sport S rims, no mods. It wheels great. Adding Rubicon springs and Fox Shocks shortly.

No mods required, I did the something to my Overland. See photos below.

Added JLUR wheels/tires on mine without issue. Running 1.5” teraflex kit to level it out, but it’s not needed.

No mods like everyone else said. As far as your questions, I have always jacked up under the front and rear diff and put stands under the axle. If I need one wheel up at a time I jack under the control arms. My Jeep mechanic buddy recommended lug nut torque at 110 ft/lbs.
