Wheels?! Wheels?! Wheels?!

[Artsifrtsi]

So, after months of going back and forth, looking at these wheels, those wheels, these tires, those tires, I finally made my decision. With a lot of the wheels I like being on back order, I decided to go with the Kenda Klever RT's 35x12.5 on my stock Overland wheels for now. Once some of the wheels I like come back in stock, I will look to order some.

Next up, a ~2"-3"lift/leveling kit.

So, 35’s with no lift on an Overland... ? Any rubbing? Tested flex/travel?

Correct, no lift, yet. I just got them installed yesterday, so haven't had a chance to really test anything. I haven't experienced any rubbing for normal driving yet though.

Had the same dilemma. Went ahead with my 35's with new 17" rims, 0 offset. Made sure rim was appropriate for the tire. Factory rims are a little narrow.

What wheels are those?

I had already bought the Cooper STT pro's and decided to keep the 33" JL Rubicon wheel/tires together to either put on the wifes jeep or sell to a friend. Went looking for wheels that appealed to me and liked the Method's as they are beefy enough for the rocks and trails I go on. Went to Discount Tire and found them. Also searched and found them cheaper at other places.

(above is for the silver. They come in black and bronze also)

Hit the found it lower and asked for a price match and gave the places where i found the lower price. They responded and agreed to the $206 and said take the letter to the local Discount Tire when you order them. But dont forget to add in if you need TPMS and Install kit (black LUG Nuts). Installation was $20 a tire to install TPMS and mount/balance the Coopers. I bought 5....

I found them at either ORW or 4 Wheel Parts for the 206. ORW raised their prices and 4WP has them for 214 now. But...

Having hard time deciding on new wheel setup for my MOJAVE. It came with the upgraded wheels and Falken M/T tires. Going to 285/75/17 either Toyo open country 3 or Nitto trail grapplers. Really thought I wanted polished or chrome wheels this time but struggling with that big of change. My Mojave is Gobi colored. Like the looks of these Black Rhino machined Warlords also.

I have always been a huge fan of the original Rubicon Moab wheels on the first TJ Rubicons. I had them for awhile on my TJ. I always liked the wheels that came on my old POS 1982 Z28. I even like the wheels that come on the stock Sport S Gladiators, although too narrow.
I had some minor rubbing on my JTR the first time off road with the JL Rubi wheels and 35's. I saw these Rubicon Extreme wheels on sale on Qtec's site. What the heck. Not for everybody, but I like them. Kind of a cross between old beater Z28 wheels, TJ Moabs, and JT Sport S wheels!! Of coarse, I put the little "Jeep" center caps on them. Just 2000 miles, and this is the 3rd set of wheels on the JTR, including the original Subaru Crosstrek lookalikes.

Glad I saw this, I just ordered the Black ones just like this

Here are a couple choices for ya. 2020 Gladiator with 17" Fuels and 37" Nittos and a 2017 JK Recon with 18" RBP's and 35" Nittos.

What lift in gladiator?

 

[Frenzyrider]

What wheels can reuse Jeep lug nuts other than AEV wheels?

 

[wanderer]

As long as you get the same diameter rims I don't see why not? My Gladiator came with 17's and I retained using 17's with my new wheels.

Did you lift the truck also? I like your set up. I drive a gator gladiator rubicon and am about to duo something very similar. I have a winch from my jlur that is going on. Little worried about sag. Thinking of going to the mopar lift Di you regear?

Only modification to mine was I added the Rubicon fox shocks and springs to my Sport. Otherwise it's stock.
