Gladiator launch wheels &tires on jlu sport

[Moabed]

I have a chance to purchase gladiator launch wheels and tires very cheap. I am wondering if they will fit on my wife’s jlu sport. I believe her axles are shorter.

Yep. No problem. Good find!

Your only issue will be finding a 5th for a matching spare. Gladiators only have a plain wheel for the spare since it stores underneath. Check the gladiator forum and eBay for one if you want to match the other four. I scooped up a set of Gladiator Rubicon wheels and found a 5th on eBay to transfer the spare tire over to.

So the axle difference won’t be a problem?

No. They should mount without issue and not rub. Countless people have mounted JL Rubicon wheels (same size as Gladiator) with good success.

The launch has a different wheel. Might be hard to find.

You could always use a tire cover on the spare.

That’s what my wife said. I’m getting four tires and wheels, brand new, for $500. Don’t know if I can get the spare.

Grab the wheel since it’s available and hang on to it and put a tire on later. Probably gonna need a spare.
