Trying to sort out my next set of tire and wheels on my Mojave.

Get what you want. I went back and forth with the tire place I went to as well. They tried to argue that the 37” Milestars wouldn’t fit with a Mopar 2” lift. I assured them they would easily fit. They went through their disclaimer thing saying they aren’t responsible if it rubs or any of that. Once they saw the Jeep they just said, “Oh”.

As long as you’ve done the research and you know what will fit on what ya got their job is to mount and balance them. That’s what you’re paying for. I think it’s mostly because they’re used to a customer base that walks in and says I need tires but I know nothing about tires so tell me what I need. When someone comes in with knowledge and experience they don’t like it.

Got any pics of the 37 MS, my tire guy was talking to me about them a week ago when I mentioned I’m looking for some new tires.

Those are a couple off the cuff. Just what I had in the files. I can get better ones if you need em. Just let me cool off for a while first.

This is my JTRD with only a 1” spacer in front for winch weight with 37 KO2’s from Discount Tire. It drove and rode great. Measured out about 35.5. I should have left it alone.

Perfect! Thanks for the reply. Just what I was looking for.

I have to ask, how do you like the ride, what are your wheel specs? Do you rub? Did you regear? If so, which gears? If not how does it do with 4.10?

Thanks in advance.

Oh, one other thing, why should you have left it alone? Do you not like the changes?

At the time, Mopar Bead lock wheels, 17x8 with 4.97 inch Backspace (12mm offset)
they only rubbed when I maxed out flex and only on plastic inner liners.
I have diesel and 3.73 gears at that time and it pulled just fine. The 3.6 may want more gear.

I say I should have left it alone at that point because it would have saved me a lot of work and money.

It evolved into this…

Looks like a lot of fun now. Thanks for the detailed answers, that is really helpful.
