Help with Wheel/Tire Selection

[AMichael]

Hi all - ordered my first jeep ('22 Rubicon granite crystal) and looking to get some help and guidance for modifying the stock wheels/tires. Believe I've settled on 17" wheels with 35" tires (with no lift) but hoping to get people's thoughts and experience with any of the below options? For the setup, my primary use will be road/highway (vs. off-road) so priority will be noise and comfort. Also, for offset, I'm just looking to have tire poke out a little, but not too aggressive. Thanks in advance! First time post but have used the site and forum extensively throughout my build and order process; many thanks to all contributors!

If you ever plan to lift it, make sure your wheel selection will work with the potential lift components or you will be buying spacers or new wheels later.

Given your stated use I'd add the Toyo ATIII tires to your list. Great all around traction with exceptional offroad performance. They do not perform as well as an M/T tire in mud though.

That little poke you are looking for would be +1 offset. Here is my rig with fuel vectors 35x12.5R18

Since I have a set of Method 701 matte black on my same colored jeep I would recommend those, as to tires BFG KO2s are good, one thing though if you are concerned with how much your tires stick out I had a set of BFG KM3 315/70/17 they are slightly wider and slightly shorter than say 35/12.5/17s, here is an image of those wheels with the BFG KM3 315/70/17. For comparison here are also two images on e with the BFG KM3 315/70/17 and a more recent one with BFG KM3 37/12.5/17, lastly my jeep is on a 2.5 lift

just pics of the toyo at3 - 35 11.5 17. Super happy with it. Past tires were nitto ridge and BFG ko2.

Thanks, that is definitely helpful in the context of choosing the right package today. Plan for now is keep stock, but may consider a modest lift (<2") in future

That little you are looking for would be +1 offset. Here is my rig with fuel vectors 35x12.5R18

Nice build! Confirming this is +1 offset on yours? Looks great and actually like those Fuels as well; they're similar to the Method 305s.

Thanks, this is really helpful and always good to see rims on same color to see exactly how they look!

Yes +1 offset & the wheels are fuel vectors
