Old video but I am running 37's on my gladiator sport. KBD high clearance fenders and Method 701's 17x8.5 +0mm off set/ 4.75"bs. Stubby Rubicon OE bumper. So I still have a tiny bit wider/ poke when you consider your extra .75" each side on the Rubicon axles. Of course it would rub off road but on road it is fine. My main concern was turning while off road and flexing, hitting the edge of the grille area.

@rubicon4wheeler3 жыл бұрын
It's not that you need more lift to keep the tires from rubbing, all you really need is taller bumpstops. But obviously that will limit non-articulating wheel travel, which will also suck. I love that Jeep decided to give the JL and JT decent size wheelwells so that we don't have to run stupid tall lifts to fit decent size tires! Fitting 38's on my JK with 3.5" lift took a decent amount of wheelwell massaging to avert having to limit suspension uptravel. The tires still grab the bottom corner of the grille in the same area you alluded to on your JT, as well as the back of the JK's grille-mounted turn signal light, but it hasn't proven to be much of an issue in real-world rockcrawling.

I hate to say it, but I don’t like these videos “37’s No Lift” primarily because it’s badly misleading for those who aren’t experienced or aware that it’s being done with only the Rubicons and Mojave’s because they come lifted with Fox 2.0 or Mojave Fox 2.5 reservoir shocks pre-lifted with an average gear ratio of 4.10. I have an Overland Edition on 34”’s No Lift. Easily fits 35” but to add 37”s with no lift, I’d have to miner trim my fender and gets wheels with an offset of -12 or -18 to avoid rubbing as I already do now. Plus remove the exhaust shield and replace the rear track bar to fit a 37” spare underneath. Don’t add 37”s unless you have $3.7k+ put away for the damage it’ll cause with the proper upgrades.

Also, I felt the need to mention that, because I’ve seen people walk into the shop requesting 37”s with no lift without other component upgrades on Sport and Willys models.

If you want to keep your stock suspension and not rub, you’ll need to split the fender flare. That’ll give you the additional clearance that you need. I would still recommend adding a 1 inch spacer upfront along with a 1 inch bump stop. A 38 is going to rub even more. That’s going to require a real suspension lift to properly cycle it off-road.

Do I go with the 17x9.5 Front and Rear 5x127.00 -18 Offset and Backspace 4.54...or do I go with the 17x8 Front and Rear 5x114.30 and 5x4.5 Offset 30 and Backspace 5.68? (Note I don't like the large lips some of these rims have) I definitely don't like the aggressive stance, most of the Jeep owners have. I want the stance to be like yours, near flushed. What are your thoughts? #2. I am about 95% sure I will be going with the Mopar 2" lift with the 1.5 front Teraflex spacer to even out the ride, do you think I will need to re-gear? strong

That's a good question and something I'm actually making a video about as I get it asked to me a fair amount. A true-to-size 37 doesn't fit in the stock spare location very well (or usually at all). I would have no issue running a 35-inch spare for 37s. In a pinch, it is better than no spare at all and it fits under the Gladiator well. You can always let a little air out of the 37 to make it closer to the 35 in a pinch. Just don't forget to disable traction control as it may cause an issue.
