[@outboundflight4455]

ExtremeTerrain.com Thank you so much for this video. Definetly gave me a better idea on what tires to get. planning on buying my first car ever and its gonna be a Wrangler sport soon! I really dont plan on offroading it. maybe handful times a year so its gonna be a daily on road and highway. 35s seem good to me with a 1in lift. What kind of wheel size do you reccomend so its not strenuous for the heavy tires to move?

[@frankcastle9691]

Should have just bought the Rubicon.

[@jasonw7337]

Can you do the same video for a Rubicon Gladiator or at least a JL?

[@Kellyjoseph49]

I don't really know much about Jeep.Is it necessary to change rims size when going for a bigger size tire?

[@Grantsfeed]

So we have a Jeep unlimited on 35’s... and this guy can see clear over the Jeep. Excuse me 😂 this man tall!

[@sQriLLah]

Almost got those same wheels, but figured everybody and their mama got those. Thanks for sharing this information Ryan! I was confident to install 35" tires with 20" wheels with no issues with wheel well clearance. The guys at the tire store did not believe it would fit and advised not to buy. They are now educated with new data on JL Sahara and Rubicon fitment.

[@SphynxKing]

One of the better straight to the point videos I've seen, well done.

[@CammieGee]

That red JL is very good looking

[@ryanbolte4145]

One thing that is never mentioned in these videos is the spare tire. I put 33s on my JL and have issues with my backup sensors catching the tire and my back up camera cover won't fit anymore. The tpms on the driver side rear won't read. It did for the first couple of miles then just turned red and never came back. Rotated tires and the one that worked no longer works in that location. Looks good though. :)

[@MrAustonbass]

I just installed the Mopar 2" lift on my 2018 JL Sport S Unlimited. I am wanting to run 35s. After this video I feel I should be good to go.

[@dleuschen]

You will be ok. 2 inch Mopar and Pro Comp 35’s.

[@ptgtdcr]

Howd it go? Update?

[@michaelcowin6442]

This is what I want to do as well. Of course we know 33's will work, but will 35's touch fully articulated?

[@markg3947]

I went to smaller tires on my JK (16 inch)and it has made a world of difference in handling and ride. Much improved.

[@tribounty1392]

What's the offset difference between the stock rims and the ones you used with the 35s?

[@joeyn7399]

-12, it is the only offset of these wheels.

[@BatWayne6]

I put on 2” leveling mammoth kit w/ 35’s and bingo. Just drive smart and slow over things that give crazy articulation and you’ll be pretty ok. There will be some running at times but now much. Great alternative if you don’t want to change your sus with a kit

[@BatWayne6]

@Drock because I believe it was all part of the same lift kit he put on. It came with coils, control arms track bar and shocks

[@carrdoug99]

like the look of the 35s way better. good video. helps with decision between 2-2.5 and 3.5-4. Definately going with bigger lift👍

[@backwoodstherapy]

I agree. With a 3.5" lift the 37s look like they're stuffed in there. 35s look nice without looking like they barely fit.

[@AirborneVet]

Informative, and I really appreciate the fact that it shows clearance using Sport/Sahara fenders and such, but to many Jeep Wrangler videos involve installing lifts and much larger wheels/tires only to be followed up by a cruise down just a dirt road with a few humps. "Were not going to take it down any serious trails, we are just going to see how it handles a little off-road." It's not going to "handle" that terrain any different than it would have with a stock suspension and the 32" highway tires that came on it from the factory.

[@gloucesterdavid]

I clicked on the video and was going to ask about the Rubicon. Thanks for covering that right up front.

[@infecti0uss]

I thought I got 33s but its 35s so we put them on when we took my winters off. The last mud tires I had were 32s. We had to trim my fenders so there was no rub. There is a poke now so I need to get Rubicon flares. I have a 2022 JL eco diesel. I dont really off road so no lift kit at this time. I think my new rims are the exact ones he installed here

[@darrenroos6408]

Mopar lift with 37s is working great on my JLUR.

[@March1966]

Really good straightforward vid. Proper backspacing=no control arm rub. Anyone over at XT tried trimming the stock fenders on a JL?

[@noneyacabbage]

After looking at both the Rubicon and Sahara, the fenders look like they are mounted the exact same place, the Rubicon fenders are just designed to go about 2 inches higher from the same mounting points. My question is why not just put the Rubicon fenders on and run the 35s? I've been trying to decide if I should get a CHEAP Sport, put Rubicon flares on it, a couple BUILT air locker rear ends with 4.56 or 5.13 gears in it and custom front and rear bumpers. I would end up with a better Jeep for less money that I could actually engage the lockers in high range when I need it instead of having to go to low. Thoughts?

[@extremeterrain]

It all comes down to what you wanna do! Mopar will sell the Rubicon fender flare aftermarket so you can always get a Sport and add those or other high-clearance flares to make room for 35s. And you can always add lockers and gears no problem... or you can just get a Rubicon, add 35s, and not have to worry too much about gearing or lockers since they already come with them and 4.10s. Simply put, a lot of people love the Rubicon because its already good to go. You don't need to add much of anything to go wheeling on bigger tires. But if YOU want to build your Jeep 100% to your own specifications, get a Sport! Hope this helps! -Zach

[@madeleinedavitt]

Hey guys! So you’re saying if I run 35’s, I will only need to buy bump stop extensions? And then will experience no rubbing when the jeep is flexed out?

[@Calaveras32Spcl]

What I am trying to figure out, I want a larger tire on my 2019 JL 2 door along with a small lift but I dont want to buy new rims; that said trying to figure out what my options are. Eventually want a 2-2.5" lift as well, but need to maintain haul and tow capability so no supper soft springs.

[@jwat2396]

I've got a rubi 2 door and I want just an 1" 1/2" to 2 " lift of some sort. 35" and no more. Get a bit more ground clearance with keeping the center of gravity as low as possible. I think that combination will be a very good one for an all around jeep. Street and trail. It just bugs me to pay around $2000 to $2900 for wheels and tires. Might be I'll just leave it alone.

[@extremeterrain]

We agree that that would be a great combo! Unfortunately, you're right. Set ups like that don't come cheap. On the bright side though you do have the one up with the Rubicon wheel and tire combo in the meantime!! Thanks for watching!

[@asdfjkl426]

I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL Sahara. It has the stock 18x7.5inch rims. I like these rims, but I would like to install the 2" Mopar Performance Lift and size up to 35" tires. Is there a tire size for that would work? I don't care for the look where the tires are 'sticking out' from the side of the jeep, I like them 'tucked under' my jeep they way the factory tires are. Thanks!

[@extremeterrain]

Since these wheels come with a -12mm offset, regardless of the tire size that you get they will always poke out ever so slightly. That being said, the amount of poke can be control partly by how wide of a tire you want to go with. If you aren't looking for too wide of a tire but still want the height of a traditional 35" tire, I recommend looking into a 285/75R17. Mounted and balanced, that size is almost identical to the height of a traditional 35x12.5R17 but a little more narrow. Best of luck! -Zach

[@asdfjkl426]

ExtremeTerrain.com That sounds like what I’m looking for. I like the stock Rims as the they look good (aluminum with grey painted spokes) and they have the “Jeep silhouette Easter egg” painted on them. I think that’s what I’m going to go with. Thanks Zach!

[@asdfjkl426]

Mine would be 285/75/R18 though?

[@extremeterrain]

Sorry, Blake! Good catch! Yes, so you would be looking at a 285/75R18. That would be giving you a height of 34" tall and just over 11" wide. Mounted up they will look the same as a traditional 35 height wise, just a little bit skinnier. If you wanted something a little bit shorter you can always go with a 285/70R18, that will give you the same beefy tire look but be a little bit better on gas. Best of luck!! -Zach

[@yovwmon]

ExtremeTerrain.com I’m facing the same dilemma. Just picked up a 2019 Sport Altitude, I love the wheels but want larger tires, sounds like going with the 285/75R18 or 285/70R18 would work perfectly, but would the bumper splash guard need removed? What about gearing, would that need changed? Lastly, would it be better to do a small lift?

Can the JL sport axle withstand a 35inch tires? Because i have a sport and i would like to know before putting a 35inch tires.

[@paulr4353]

This question is a bit late, but noticed that you didn't say anything about the axle ratio. I has a 2023 Willys JLU with the 3.6 engine and 3.45 axle ratios. I have changed the wheels and tires from the stock 255's to 285-70's but I prefer the look of the 35's. With a 2 - 2 1/2 lift. The stock axle is ok with the 285's but think it will stuggle with 35's. So, can you recommend an appropriate axle ratio for road use. Maybe the 4.01:1? Not sure if the 3.73 will be enough.

[@extremeterrain]

With the 3.73's you will loose a little drivability in normal conditions with 35's and an auto transmission. To stay in the right RPM range in the highest gear with an auto transmission at 70 mph, a 4.88 gear ratio is the most common recommended size. It will depend on preference so we recommend checking out gear ratio charts for your specific set up!

Extreme terrain, I was seriously looking into the SkyJacker 2-2.5” lift for my Rubicon (currently sitting stock w 35’s). It does rub in full articulation. What are the pros and cons to this lift vs some more expensive options?

[@Ikonnikovodessa]

Hello. Everyone makes an overview of how cool the big wheels look and the better off-road cross-country ability. But I have not yet seen the review, how does the behavior of the car change on a normal road? How has car driving changed? How much does the braking distance and fuel consumption increase? If you can make such a review, many will be grateful to you. Thanks.

[@extremeterrain]

We may do a video like this in the future! In general, adding 35" tires will change a good bit of your on-road driving characteristics because of the dramatic change in weight compared to factory 32" tires. Without regearing after install your Wrangler will feel more sluggish, you'll require more time for braking, fuel consumption will go up because your engine is working harder to get those heavy tires moving, and the center of gravity on your Jeep will be higher from the larger tires. Hope this helps! -Zach

[@clipofthedayyup4907]

My experience with this size of wheel base requires 6" liftand 37s. That is when I was most happy. Except for the availability of 37" inch tires of my choice. My 2 cents for actual offroad use and you don't want to be turtling on your skid plate. And get a metal center skid plate not aluminum. You will slide over obstacles easy. Rocks tend to scrape and dig deep into the skid. My experience with one brand of skid plate.

[@extremeterrain]

Most 35 inch tires will be too wide to mount on the stock wheel and will require less back spacing to avoid rubbing. You can run 35's without a lift on a Gladiator but a leveling kit is recommended for some more room in the front wheel well.

[@jorgevega4541]

I personally like the look with no lift, but wanted to see if you could advise? Thank you! Love your videos.

[@extremeterrain]

Hey, Jorge! I personally would recommend *at least* adding a small lift kit. That way you'll keep things closer to stock height, but you'll ensure no rubbing over speed-bumps or while taking some light trails! Check out the following link for a solid example!

[@judygamble7122]

After the lift install they said the stock rims won't fit. It's still on a hoist waiting for new rims now....

[@extremeterrain]

It varies from shop to shop - but technically you *can* fit 35x12.5R17 tires onto stock 17" wheels, but its a pretty tight fit. The vast majority of shops will want to see a 17x8.5" or 17x9" wheel in order to more safely mount a larger tire like that. Aftermarket wheels like that 17x9" will also give you a more aggressive backspacing than stock which will allow more clearance for wider tires as well. The only way you could achieve this on factory wheels is through the use of wheel spacers. Hope this helps! Best of luck with your Jeep! -Zach

[@Huldracrafts_Cosplay]

Will I have to regear or change axels on my 2020 sport if I put 35 inch tires with a 2 inch lift kit with shocks and steering stablizers?

[@extremeterrain]

What engine is your JL equipped with? If you have a 3.6L V6, you'll likely want to look into regearing down the line. Especially if you have a manual transmission, the added weight of those 35s will become apparent pretty quick with that compared to the 8-speed automatic. If your Jeep has the 2.0L turbo, you may honestly be fine without touching your gears! The turbo and 8-speed automatic do a great job of compensating for the added weight of those tires and I've seen numerous reports of owners not needing to regear unless you plan on doing heavy off-roading. Lift kits, shocks, and steering dampers by themselves will not cause regearing to be needed, only larger tires. Hope this helps! -Zach

[@extremeterrain]

Welcome to the Jeep crowd! The nice thing with the JL platform is that you *really* don't need a bunch of lift to fit bigger tires. On the Sport models, I'd recommend at least 2 or 2.5 inches of lift to get some 35s under there without any rubbing. You may need some wheel spacers if you plan on keeping factory wheels to keep away rubbing. If you go with aftermarket wheels you should be fine, since the majority of them give you some more backspacing compared to factory. When looking at lift kits I highly recommend finding one with new springs, shocks and swaybar links if you have the budget. Hope this helps! -Zach

[@extremeterrain]

With stock wheels, you'll likely need wheel spacers to clear those 35s while flexing on a 2.5" lift. You won't have to worry about any sort of rubbing like that with aftermarket wheels with less backspacing. -Zach

What about performance without redoing your gears

[@voodoo1506]

Hello, great video! Thinking of the Mopar lift kit and 35” tires. Not too sure about bigger tires because of axle ratio and changes to differential on a Sport Model. Do you think I would need to regear up to a 4.10?

[@extremeterrain]

It honestly kinda depends! The new 8-speed automatic transmission in the JLs can handle larger tires pretty easily without too much grief, especially if you have the 2.0L turbo engine. If you have a manual transmission though, you will most likely need to re-gear to get you low-end torque and highway driving back. If you're going to re-gear for 35s, I'd recommend looking into either 4.56s or 4.88s. Paying for all of the labor involved for re-gearing just to go with a set of 4.10s may leave you a little disappointed. They won't be aggressive enough to spin those 35s. Hope this all helps! -Zach

[@zumezoom9593]

@extremeterrain i want 35" tires on my 4dr JL. Is the skyjacker 2.5" lift enough to clear and not rub? i think eventually i'll be adding front and rear steel bumpers, winch, rock sliders, skid plates, tire carrier, and maybe a rooftop tent. I know it'll weigh down a bit, but i guess i could always upgrade it later..what do you think?

[@extremeterrain]

2.5" of lift will be perfect for a set of 35s on your JL! Depending on how wide the new tires are you may need to invest in a set of wheel spacers if you are keeping your factory wheels, or a set of aftermarket wheels with a little more offset. That way you won't need to worry about rubbing on when turning. If you plan on *reallyyy* weighing it down and driving around like that often, it may be better to look into a 3" or 3.5" kit though. Especially if you're looking at large full-width front bumpers, full width heavy-duty rear bumpers, full skids underneath the Jeep, etc. Hope this helps! -Zach

[@ANTONALO]

Could you just get smaller fenders or a fender delete kit to run 35s with no lift?

You definitely could, but you'd absolutely have to look into high clearance flares or running no flares at all if you're trying to avoid rubbing or putting on any lift at all. -Zach

[@nicolaspomplun7275]

can you add "rubicon" fenders to the sport for more clearance?

[@mike1158d]

Yes...MOPAR actually starting offering them about a year or 2 ago.. I think they called them "hightop flares" the Rubicon body is no different than the Sport, so the flares will have the same result

[@msemmahale4608]

Or ... you can get flats fenders from bushwacker, smitty bilt, and other after market vendors for even more clearance

[@tompezzella3439]

I have a 2020 JL Wrangler Sport, Willys edition. Gives me 32" mud tires, 3.45 gearing, Rubicon shocks and rock rails. Thinking about 35 or 37" tires. What would be a good lift/tire choice if I choose? This is my daily driver. I take it basic off roading, no rock climbing and I have a 20 mile round trip commute to work so not much of a concern. Also, would regearing be of a concern?

[@extremeterrain]

I'd highly recommend sticking with a 34" or 35" tire if you plan on using your Wrangler as daily driver, something along the lines of a 285/75R17, 305/70R17 or 315/70R17 depending on how large you want to go. The larger the tire the more you'll start to sacrifice regarding your fuel economy, handling on-road, and power due to the stock gearing of your Jeep. The engine you have in your Wrangler will really point to whether re-gearing will be of immediate concern or not. The 2.0L four-banger is able to handle larger tires easier with stock gearing in comparison to the 3.6L V6 due to the turbo. You'll be able to live with 35s on stock gears for a little while with the 3.6L, but you'll really notice the loss of power if you do a lot of highway driving, rock crawling, or if you have a manual transmission. Hope this helps! -Zach

Can I put 35x12.5x17r tires on a Rubicon JL with 2.5 inch lift and stock rims without using spacers?? 4 Wheel parts said I should put spacers but I know people who run it with no spacers what do you guys advise?

[@extremeterrain]

Height-wise it will fit no problem! But since those are some wide tires on stock wheels, and there may be rubbing on the lower control arms at full-lock from it. Spacers will definitely help give you some extra wiggle room! -Zach

[@lenity4208]

Is there a 5” lift kit? Id feel more comfortable running 37” tires with a 5 or 6 inch lift kit

[@extremeterrain]

Absolutely! On these new JLs a 3 in. or 4 in. kit is really all you need to run 37s comfortably, but we do have a couple 5 in. kits available! Check this one out for an example. www.extremeterrain.com/fabtech-5-crawler-lift-system-w-dirt-logic-225-shocks-1819-jeep-jl-4-door.html -Zach

[@jiajianhou426]

With 2” lift and stock steel bumpers, can I fit the 35” tires? 315/70R17. Thanks!

[@extremeterrain]

Definitely! I recommend either getting some wheel spacers or aftermarket wheels with some backspacing in order to avoid rubbing though. If you have a Sport model Wrangler, you'll also want to remove the splash guards connecting your front bumper up to your fenders for a little extra room. -Zach

[@dustinmorrow7863]

Will 35s work if the backspace on the rim is 4.25?

[@PedroPerez-cp3on]

Is required to do a calibration in the speedometer when you lift your JL with 35”tires ?

[@extremeterrain]

It is not required, many people run 35s on their Jeep temporarily without correcting their speedometer. I highly recommend you do though, especially if you have an automatic transmission. That way your Jeep shift properly and drive a bit smoother with them. -Zach

[@brycejordan6729]

I have a 2018 JL 3.6L 8-Speed, Im running 35's and a 2.5 lift. Do you suggest regearing?

[@extremeterrain]

If you have the funds available, investing in new gears wouldn't be a bad idea at all. You'll immediately notice a lot more low end torque, more pick-up from a stop, and more power while in 4WD off-road. That being said if you don't feel that it's needed right now, there definitely isn't a *NEED* to get it done right away. -Zach

I wish MOPAR would come out with a 3 inch lift option. I really want 35's, and not ever have to worry about rubbing.

[@extremeterrain]

To be fair, the Mopar lift kit for JL Wrangler's gives you about 2.5" of lift, if not even closer to 3" if you have a two-door. I honestly would not be worried about rubbing if I were you. 😁 -Zach

Can I put 35’s on stock rims on 2021 rubicon 4 door without lifting?

[@extremeterrain]

You absolutely can! With the high-clearance fender flares that come on Rubicon model Wranglers, you can find 35s without any modifications. -Zach

[@riel4454]

I have 2018 JL and want 33” tires. Would you recommend a lift?

[@brnt.9319]

You can fit 33s without a lift, though a 2-2.5 inch lift will give you more tire to fender clearance. Only downside to running a smaller tire with a lift is that it might look disproportionate.

[@TuanTran-lz6ui]

The fender flares need to go and be upgraded to something better

[@americoramos1616]

Do you need to regear on the JL to have 35s?

[@msemmahale4608]

Yes, 4.56 or 4.88 depending on your intended use (towing anything like a boat or small camping trailer, then 4.88). Though I’m driving with 4.:10 gearing on 35’s. It’s lost some power but still drivable.

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

speaking of clearance, the available space between the 35.0 in. tyres & the front suspension arms (when the front wheel is turning) is crucial as much as the vertical clearance between the 35.0 in. tyres & the body!!! Infact in this very video, your underbody camera clearly shows that the lateral clearance available between the front 35.0 in. tyres & the suspension arms was just marginal which isn't enough even for mild off roading!!!

[@extremeterrain]

You're entirely correct, and we do go on to say that at your stock ride height 35's will not allow for much room to articulate off-road. We strongly recommend that if you plan on doing *any* off-roading, you pair your 35 in. tires with at least a 2 in. lift. -Zach

A 2" leveling kit would help with fitment too! If that kit doesn't lift the rear, things could be a little tight back there though. I'd recommend a 2" lift that takes care of the front *and* rear. -Zach

I like that v6 grunt, and with a cold air intake and exhaust it sounds good, but that turbo is sure faster, better low end torque and better MPGs.

[@vmcc9070]

Hi. How is the driving on road with that set up? Thanks.

[@extremeterrain]

With a 3.5-4" lift kit along with 37's, you'll honestly see a good bit of your highway manners go south. The thick sidewalls of the 37s will make the ride stiffer, you'll notice the Jeep not having as much power as it did previously because the engine now has to spin a *much* heavier tire, your speedometer and shift points will have to be adjusted, and you may need to look into new gears as well. That being said, a *ton* of people love 37s these days and daily their Jeeps with them no problem. But if you have a long daily commute and your Jeep is your daily driver, I'd recommend sticking to a 34 or 35 to retain some highway manners. -Zach
