Will 35X12.5R17 fit the OEM Rubicon wheels?

[WXman]

I was just on the Nitto web site - the minimum for 35’s showed 8.5?

Yeah as somebody noted, the 12.50 width tires will work on the 7.5 width factory wheels, but it's certainly not ideal. It may even cause abnormal wear, because the TREAD width is 10 inches, so a 7.5" wheel is going to balloon the tire more.

I normally use 8.5" wheels, though 9" works even better.

As far as the Nitto being a better tire, that's debatable. Nitto doesn't have a squeaky clean reputation in truck tires, but you'll be hard pressed to find a bad review on a Falken.

Thanks! You still running the spacer?

I'm running the 315's on the mopar 17"x8.5" off road wheel with a 1" spacer lift. I went with these tires mainly due to their weight (64.4 lbs) being close to stock M/T Falcons (61.3 lbs). From past experience the tire weight has the most detrimental effect on handling and performance.

yea, personally think it looks better. closer to level and I've actually thought about adding the other 3/4", but want to do control arms to get the caster right.

I'm talking about a spring spacer, not a wheel spacer.

still well within the fenders - exactly what I'm looking for - also plan on the 1inch leveling spacer...how is the ride for you vs the OEM tires?

this looks great! Do the wheels come out past the fenders? If you have a chance, could you take a picture down the front of the truck?

 

[StingyJT]

This is a good look and more than likely what I would do. Do you have more shots? You effectively have my doppelganger.

Have you run into any interference off road and with the swaybars disconnected? Any idea on how low of pressure you can run with the narrow factory wheel width?

I'm considering this setup but remove the lower half of the fenders to gain more clearance.

No serious off roading yet, unfortunately. I believe you can go down 15-20psi on OEM wheels.

I just got these in this same size...love them so far, look and drive great.

What PSI have you found to work well for you??

 

[PyrPatriot]

Will they fit on stock sport alloy wheels? Or do the Rubicons have different backspacing/offset

They all have the same offset.
