2020 sport auto max tow. No lift, no wheel spacers, no chops fits 35x12.5 BFG MTs on 17x7.5 stock wheels with plenty of room! Did remove those terrible looking plastic things as they were rubbing at full wheel cock and because they looked terrible. I hooked my travel trailer up to be sure it wouldn’t rub at highway speeds over bumps with the tounge weight. No probs what so ever with plenty of room using a weight distribution hitch. Hopefully this clears up the controversy!

Here are 2 more for you.

Looks great I wish there were more options in this size. I hated my last set of trail grapplers personally

@Trauma PA It is really initial thoughts as I only have about 20 miles and no off road...

Good:

• I really like the size of this tire for the JT (11.5 width fits stock wheel/spare nice and stays under the fenders which I like, 35 fills the space well and does not look too big, gives a bit more ground clearance)
• The C load feels good driving. Sidewall does not feel harsh and weight is up 8 lbs per tires over stock which I cant feel the performance impact too much. (I am at 38 lbs pressure currently and reading I should try lowering some?)
• Road noise is only a small amount louder at this point vs stock
• I personally think they look great. I like the tread and sidewall.

Bad

• They are a MT, so you do feel that some. For example when driving and going around a faster bend in the road, you can feel a little 'buzz' type of feel in the wheel. Not bad but noticeable
• I am sure my MPG will drop
• Will probably get a bit louder over time

@Gladicon they are Nitto Trail Grappler MT 35x11.5R17 and I have them mounted on my stock Launch Edition (and spare) wheels. I ordered them from Discount Tire and had great service (and price match). These are same 17x7.5 wheels as the Rubicon, just different design/color.

Please let us know your opinions on these tires now that some time has passed. Thx!
