Hey all! New here and looking for some advice. I currently drive a 2025 Gladiator Nighthawk. Not a fan of the 20” wheels. I’m thinking of going 17s with 33s. Already ordered the 1.5” teraflex level. Can anyone provide their pictures if they have ofsaid setup? Also what offset should I consider?

Rock Trix wheels. They have multiple offset options and finishes for a great price. Been on my Jeep for at least 3 years and are holding up great.

-12 offset will work for you so you don’t have any rubbing issues. I’ve use that offset on a JT with a 2” lift and 37’s, a JL with a 2” lift and 35’s and a JLU with the Teraflex 1.5” lift and 35’s. Zero rubbing.

Thoughts on 3.73 with 35s? I’m thinking i need to stay with 33s

35's work fine. You'll be wishing for 35's within a week of putting 33s on

As a counter point....the thought of regearing had never crossed my mind until I had 35's, and that is with 4.10's from the factory. Like most of these discussions, it's subjective.

Good point. I'm running 3.73 and am fine with the 35s. But I am wanting 37s so 4.56 is in my future

Inchitis will hit you. (well, it hits most of us) I am happy with 35's on my XJ, but not so much with my Gladi.

What offset depends how much you want them tucked under the flares or how much you want them to stick out.

You'll also have to choose a tire width before you choose offset. To make sure you have enough clearance for the inside sidewalls.

I’m thinking 285/70/17 is where I want to be. Will have a 1.5 inch level. Looking at 17x9 kmc Roswell

You don't even have to lift it to fit those. This is my sport as it rolled off the lot on 285s

Thanks. Pretty much my use case. Overwhelmingly commuting, going to Home Depot, pulling my utility trailer, etc. Daily driver 'work truck'. On great occasion, fire roads and camping. I use 4WD mostly for helping my buddy move trailers and project cars around on soft ground lol.
