Are there difference in size and offset between Rubicon and Willys wheels?

[viper88]

I have 2022 JLR with the regular Rubicon wheels and factory K02s. I like the all black look of the JL Willys wheels. I am considering buying a set of take-off JL Willys wheels. Any issues changing over my K02s on to the black Willys wheels?

Are there any differences in size and offset between the JL Rubicon and JL Willys wheels?

No difference at all, from what I understand. Just the color of the wheels. KO”2s will work fine.

Also check out the Gladiator wheels... The all black Moab wheels are also the same size and many takeoffs for those too.

I don't even know what they look like? I will do a search. Thanks!


You mean these black Gladiator Launch Edition wheels? Are these the same size and offset as the regular JL Rubicon wheels?

Sorry meant MOJAVE edition! Those are launch edition wheels as you state. These are Gladiator Mojave which you can get with Falken Wildpeak AT or MT tires which are both great! And yeah, all have same size / offset, etc. So be sure to check out the Gladiator section for takeoffs if you like the looks.

Mojave wheels have a different offset than the rest of the JL/JT wheels, 37.17mm compared to 44.45 on the others.

Did not know this... thanks for clarification!

Appreciate the clarification about the Mojave wheels. I am not interested in that design so I am good.

I definitely want to stay with a size that is the exact same as my stock JLR wheels. My first choices are the Black Moab Williys wheel or the Black Gladiator Launch Edition wheels if they are the exact same size as my JLR Rubicon wheels.

Another question? Originally I was going to buy wheels with tires or rims only. And swap the MT tires off the Willys wheels and keep my K02s from my stock JLR wheels. Are the Gladiator tire sizes the same as the JLR? Maybe I will use whatever tires are on the wheels if the size is the same?

That would also depend on if my 2022 JLR TPS are compatible with earlier Willys or Gladiator TPS. I would swap out for my K02s if the TPS don't match and work on my 2022 JLR.

One of the issues with picking up a set of Gladiator wheels is they only have 4 instead of 5. So if you want that matching spare you’d have to find a single somewhere.

Ahh, the elusive matching spare. Be careful not to end up like this . . . . LOL!

The Willys MOAB wheel is a 17x7.5-inch wheel with a 44.45mm positive offset.

The Rubicon stock wheel is also a 17x7.5-inch wheel with a 44.45mm positive offset.

If either vehicle came with the LT285/70R17 tire, then the offset changes to 37.17mm.

The ONLY JL/JT factory wheel that isn't +44 is the JT Mojave. All Rubicons come with 285/70r17s, as does the Mojave. Tire size has no relationship to the offset change, it is model specific for the Mojave.

Im in the same boat. I think if you get the wheels painted by a pro they look awesome. google it and you;ll see.

We both forgot about the XR package, those wheels have an offset of +12.

Tires have zero connection to wheel offset.
