I special ordered a set of 5 BFG KO2's in 37x12.5-17 load range C from Discount tire (great price & service). The tires arrived a bit earlier than expected. I already had the wheels, but didn't have my Mopar lift installed yet. After reading that others have carried 5, 33" take offs inside their JLU, I figured I would get my new tires mounted and just carry them home.
Turns out, with the 4xe's battery taking up ~6" of vertical space at the rear seat, only 2 tires could be stacked horizontally. To avoid taking two trips to the tire store, I decided to drive on four of the 37's, and carried one 37" plus four 33's inside the cabin. To make them all fit, we had to deflate the last 33.
The 37's fit well enough to drive home, but I'd not try to wheel with them without a lift.
As weighed by my uncalibrated bathroom scale my 0"offset, 8.5" wide Kansei Roku wheels and 37" KO2's are 87.4Lbs while my stock wheels & KO2's are 76.8Lbs.
Pictures for further illustration...
