Hello

I'm assuming the stock Rubicon wheels and tires will fit just fine on the Overland trim right? Any speedo adjustments needed or rubbing issues?

Regards

Nice! It looks really good! What's that hood thing? What purpose does it do? It'll look good on my granite.

Are the offsets the same on all JT wheels? I'd not want to change and find it changes anything. (Talking scrub, that sort of thing)
I'm not sure what the offset is on these wheels and don't know if they are all the same. I try to not change that sort of thing when I switch wheels around on my other vehicles.

Bill, I honestly do not know the offsets.
I remember reading about them on another thread. Thought I bookmarked it. Maybe search function on here will bring it up.
Not finding it currently.

Will try search - it generally does well for me.

@ShadowsPapa Here is the link I educated myself with for the purchase of my Rubi takeoffs.

https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/educate-me-on-wheels.14173/#post-191284
Thanks much. If I don't do as my wife said to consider (she suggested looking at trading up to Rubicon), I'd likely change to a bit different tire for better bite in snow and such. Also would like to have matching 5 wheels and tires to rotate in the spare. I hate having a perfect spare that's years old and 4 worn out tires. But I don't want to change the offset as I want to keep the centers of the wheels where they are so I don't change scrub angle which can change steering and braking performance, especially in emergencies. Don't want to get into brake steer, that sort of thing.

Totally agree. The Falkens are nice so far.
Did quite well at Turnpike speeds 75-85mph....and a bit lower when the rain started to turn to sleet.
I had 33” Nitto Grapplers on my F150.
Might go that route when these wear out.
I felt the Grapplers were excellent in the snow in my part of the country.

What brand is that bug/rock deflector? I love the look, do you have a link by chance?

I ordered through Quadratec, unfortunately last time I checked for someone it was discontinued. Sorry.

Thanks for responding, by chance do you happen to remember the brand? Maybe I can find it elsewhere, it is probably the nicest one I have seen and would look great on my white Gladiator!
