    Bigger tires/wheels increase rolling weight and mass, makes your brakes work harder, changes your inclination angle and steering scrub radius. It also adds pressure on different components within your front end (tie rods, ball joints). Lots of stuff people don't think about.

      The gladiator stuff is robust enough to be fine with 37s especially with a lightweight zero offset wheel like he has

      @@smarterthanyou2674 I didn't say it wasn't robust enough, the vehicle was engineered with something completely different. Larger tires increase rolling mass which changes quite a bit.

    2020 JLUR - 3.5" Metalcloak Game Changer, STOCK wheels, BFG 35x12.5x17. Chalk tested the tires and run them at 34psi. Rotate them every 3k miles. Contact patch is perfect. Smaller wheel is the poor mans beadlock, I have never lost a bead and go down to 15psi on trail. Will be putting Nitto 37's on the stock wheel soon. Only worry is rub on control arms at full turn. Weight is a serious consideration, braking, mileage, etc. Get a Tazer. Just my experience so far. Good details!!!

    Sock Danna 44 axels "maybe" for 37's. Your the 1st person I've ever heard say that. Just watched a guy 'wheeling' on 40's & stock axels waiting to see when they brake. It's been almost 2 years and their still running. He knows it's not recommended but still going. Got to watch out when you dispense such knowledge-you never know someone might just believe that.

    Just put Toyo MT 35 x 12.5 x 17 with a set of the QuadraTec ‘41 wheels which are 8.5” wide with a +10 offset on my Sport S Max Tow along with the 2” Mopar lift. It is also Hydro Blue and it changes the look dramatically! It actually looks like a Jeep and my smile gets bigger every time I drive it. Since I will be adding air lockers soon, I’ll likely go ahead and re-gear to 4.56, but with the 4.10’s I am not in any hurry. Thanks for the information.

    I have a very similar approach to you when it comes to wheels and tires. I ran OE wheels on my last vehicle for 15 years because there was just no reason to swap them. With the Gladiator I find the rim size to be very limiting; thank you for the detailed breakdown. I've been looking at Method wheels but trying to figure out exactly what backspacing and offset to run.

  • @iamblaineful
    @iamblaineful 3 года назад +2

    I have a '21 Glad Rubi Diesel on 37s, 17x9 w/ 3.75" backspace, it pokes out just a bit more than yours, but with 37s it gives me that clearance so no rubbing in the front lock to lock. Its on a 3.5" Metalcloak lift and I've swapped the front driveshaft to an Adams 1350. My wheel / tire combo is on the heavier side (beadlocks), but with the diesel it's not a huge deal.

I ran the same wheels and tires and wheel spacers on my Sahara jlu. With a 3 in lift. The 35s look small on the gladiator. If I don't like it I'll put the 35s back on.

    Love the setup and thanks for the well made and researched video. I'm thinking of a very similar setup on my Rubi, but noticed those same Method 703's also come with a +25mm offset. Would you anticipate any interior rubbing with those wheels, versus the 0 offset wheels you elected to mount? Running a +25 mm offset might result in the exterior of the tire lying in-line with the fender, and prevent potential damage from debris kick-up. Thanks.

    I have the sport with max tow, keeping in mind that I’m trying to keep my towing capacity high, would 34s with a leveling kit in the front and possibly a small one in the rear be a good idea? I’m not trying to absolutely murder my mpg either since I do get around 22.5mpg average in the summer with the A/T stock tires I have right now. 35s would be cool but I don’t want to possibly run into problems rubbing. Any idea on how much “X” tire size will effect towing?

    • @BigRockMoto
      @BigRockMoto  3 года назад

      You will feel any increase in tire size when towing - it feels less powerful. I noticed a big drop going to the 35;s from my stock 33's, and my mpg went from 19 to 16. 34's might be OK, watch your wheel weight as well. a one or two inch lift won't kill you.

    Hey Ian, I am thinking of doing this exact set up for my 2022 gladiator rubicon. How are the coopers for normal road driving? This is my everyday vehicle. Thanks!

      @@BigRockMoto Ian, I got the same setup you have installed on my gladiator a couple of days ago. Looks great! Just curious what tire pressure you are using for road driving? Thanks

    Does anyone know if a 15 inch rim will fit the gladiator overland model?

    Will the stock rims work with 35x12.5r17 tires ? I was thinking of adding a 1-inch lift

    This has been up for a week and I keep re-watching because it is SO HELPFUL. Thank you for being a true inspiration for all of us who love outdoor adventures and fine tuning our crafts. Bravo! 🤗🤩🤸‍♂️
