Wheels?! Wheels?! Wheels?!

[DHP]

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.

Any lift on that setup? Looks good

I like that look. I can appreciate black wheels, but I prefer the silver/aluminum look.

2.5" Mopar lift. Had the dealership install so covered with warranty. Had 33" JL Rubicon AT's rims and tires on it when I did the lift. Found a good deal for the Cooper's so pulled the trigger.

I'm happy with my 33's on 17's personally. Much like others have stated though, to each their own!

I like my 20 inch wheels on 35s. They don’t look to silly to me. I would run whatever you like.

Thats what I am thinking going with 33's. I really would like to get some new rims but still use my current factory tires and burn up their rubber for a bit which I paid for and then put on some 33's but not sure if it would work.

Each of us have our own reason for going with a certain size tire and wheel.
Symmetry and functionality are key for me. I wanted to go 35's before I bought my JTR but when I saw them live on a Gladiator they looked small on the vehicle.
Because of that and since I have a Rubicon with 4:10s I went with 37s and think that is the "right size" for the vehicle.

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.

Love my stock Black wheels but that's just me. Probably the first time I've been satisfied with stock wheels and how they look on something. If I had the silver stock ones they would of already been off my jeep. I'm a fan of black or smoked out wheels and on white it looks awesome. I'm keeping mine and I'm currently running 315 70 17 BFG KO2S on them without any regrets.

To help you, like most people have said...there are a ton of options but you just have to decide what you want your truck to look like and also what are you going to be doing with the truck. If it is a daily driver and you don’t off-road and like 20s, go for it. If you daily drive and like to wheel a little on the weekend like myself, go for 35s on stockers or find a wheel tire package you like. If you want tire sticking out, go negative offset, if you don’t want tire poke, go for a positive offset. It all boils down to what you want your truck to do and what you personally like aesthetically.

if you like ideas, I don’t like a lot of tire poke and do light wheeling so I chose to go 17” with a +30mm offset with Kenda 35x10.5. I played around here for a month:

before deciding what set up I wanted. It was good to see the difference from the factory set up to what new combo you want, how far out they will stick out and fill up the wheel well. Hope that helps and good luck searching. Keep us posted on what you decide!

Manual or auto? I'm planning for the future (likely a couple years out at least) and wouldn't mind 37s if I don't need to regear. 33s already bog the manual in 5th and 6th but I know how to downshift so NBD as long as 1-4 still put power down.

Man that is me. I could live with the stock if they were black but they are bright silver and clash so badly with my Sting Grey JT. I had originally budgeted for a certain about of stuff thinking I was going to be able to get a soft top but that didn't work out and now I have to consider purchasing one with the money I budgeted for new rims. I'm contemplating buying some rubicon take off's if the price is right but I am ok with the stock tires for now but want to move up to 33's

Paint the wheels if it's that big a deal and you want to save for other things. Heck if you wanted to just give it a try a few cans of black plastidip and half an afternoon your wheels will be black and can be changed whenever you like for $20

That looks good! What tires did you get and what lift did you get?

 

[WK2JT]

37x11.5x18 Ridge Grapplers w/ 2" Mopar lift & 1.5" wheel spacers. I also added the Rubicon high clearance fender flares. I just loved the look of the stock rims and couldn't bring myself to part with them.
